Patrick's Story
Life
Well, not much from here. Not surprising I joined the military shortly after academic suspension from college. I have been in since March 1993 and plan to make it a career.
As for a family, I have none. Never got married, only a couple of relationships, but the military life sort of drove them away. No kids, thank goodness. I hope to still get married and have kids, just finding the time is a chore.
I am on the Base Honor Guard and provide military honors for those who have passed away. I have performed many funerals and provide the playing of TAPS on the trumpet as well as Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes if asked to. I have recently finished my degree in Aviation Management and hope to pursue the rest of my military career as an officer.

4 to Sep 1998. From Sep 1998 to Sep 2000 was spent as an ART at Kadena AB, Okinawa 961st AWACS squadron. From Sep 2000 to present, I currently am an Instructor ART in the 964th AWACS squadron back at Tinker AFB. Current rank is E-5 Staff Sergeant. I have been to the Persian Gulf for 14 deployments for various operations and exercises including Operations Provide Comfort, Northern Watch, Southern Watch, and more recently Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanastan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. Also included are various Operation Noble Eagle missions performed here in the U.S. protecting vital country assests. As of 1 Apr 2004 I have been in the service over 11 years and plan on serving a minimum of 20 years and up to 30 if I can manage. Current plans are to put a package for submission of Officer's Training School. I still have ambitions of being a pilot but am too old now for Active duty standards, so a position in Command and Control is one I am looking for.
