Michael's Story
Hello to the ladies and what's up to the fellas. I hope this finds every one doing well and blessed. Not sure if anyone remembers me out there but i like to think I've made a positive impression on at least one person out there in the world.
After High School:
I moved to Newport News VA and stayed there for about 8 months until I joined the Air Force. I've now been in the military for a little over 19 years and I've enjoyed the ride. I've only been stationed at two bases (Dyess-Abilene Tx, Maxwell- Montgomery AL) but I've been all over the world. My primary job was a Crew Chief on the B-1 bomber at Dyess AFB, with that aircraft I've been to Saudi Arabia, Germany, Diego Garcia, Alaska and all over the states. I traded in my wrench and started working on the education side of the military house. I work for the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). This job is ok, I'm an inspector so i get to travel all over the place but I do miss the craziness of the flight line.
Marital Status:
I've been married for 11 1/2 years to a great lady I met while I was stationed i...Expand for more
n Texas. We purchased our first house last year and we don't have any kids. We do have two dogs--Mike and Scottie.....Of course after the greats Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Joys:
I enjoy reading in my free time or just enjoying the company of my little family---yes the dogs are counted as fam. I'm a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan for football and follow the career of Kobe for B-ball. Being stationed here at Maxwell has put me with in two hours of my mother and three hours from the florida beaches so what more can a man ask for.
I still consider myself the same guy that everyone knew in high school, just with a better head on my shoulders. I love to laugh and have a great time with what ever i am doing. I still don't drink and never took up smoking...I just enjoy life and try to smile in all situations (unless my eagles lose).
Contacts:
I've managed to keep in touch with Leslie Lewis, Joe Hernandez, Kevin Fryar and Marie Ray. They are all doing great with families of their own.
God Bless all of you and I hope to hear from old friends out there in the world.
