Chris's Story
a year after graduation i joined the Air Force. my first base was F E Warren in Cheyenne, Wyoming. i was stationed there for almost 5 years, in the mean time i had a daughter, Erica, she's 20. my next assignment was to King Salmon Air Base, Alaska. That was cool, in summer the sun only goes down for about 2-3 hours. awesome scenery, great hunting and fishing too. my next assignment was to Cannon Air Force Base in Clovis, New Mexico, very very nice town folk there. i was there for about 3 1/2 years, and had 2 more daughters, Iris 15, and Lillian 13. in 1993 i went to Saudi Arabia for 4 months in support of Operation Desert Shield. WOW!! what a culture shock,
i also went to Homestead Air Force Base later on in 93, a year after hurricane Andrew nearly wiped it off the map.( it was still a devastating sight even a year later.)
in January 1995 i was tired of all the moving around and i seperated from the Air Force and moved with my wife at the time, up here to Klamath Falls, Oregon. beautiful mountains, nothing compa...Expand for more
red to the rockies though, wildlife, fishing lakes and rivers everywhere. sportsmans paradise.
i have had 2 more children since living here, Brier 11, and Little Chris 9. I worked for a few companies and realized how much i missed the commaradary of the military, and in 2000 i joined the Oregon Air National Guard. i have been loving it ever since.
along the way of my life travels there have been some challenges and speed bumps, events i have learned from.
My folks are still living in the same house on state street in Salina, i see them every 2 years, they come out to oregon for about a week, they love that the weather is so fair compared to Kansas' summer temps.
i have 3-5 years to retire from the military and more than likely will stay in oregon but as far as that i have no idea what the future holds for me, it is exciting and scarey to think about at the same time. when i get it figured out i'll let y'all know, until then i'm gonna enjoy every minute and every blessing.
(there'll be more story as life developes)
