Life For anyone who may be curious as to how my life after TCCHS progressed, first of all you're probably sick. But if you really must know, here we go... Following graduation from TCCHS I followed a girl to the North Texas State University. After that didn't work out so well (ah, young love)I decided that perhaps the University of Texas at San Antonio had all I really wanted from an institute of higher education. Graduated with a B.A. in Anthropology (!) and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force in 1990. College was moderately entertaining. It may surprise my TCCHS teachers that I graduated Magna Cum Laude, but hey Anthropology is not exactly rocket surgery.

In September of 2000 I was sent to Osan AB, Republic of Korea for a one-year stint as a Combat Planner. That was not fun! From September of 2001 to today I have been a T-38 Instructor Pilot at Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, TX. Next it's off to RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom to fly the Eagle again. During my Air Force career I've managed to get promoted a couple of times and I'm now a Major, hoping to be a Lt Col after this summer! I've been to the Middle...Expand for more
