Greg's Story
Life
I joined the Air Force at 18 since I didn't know what the heck I wanted to do with my life. The Air Force decided they wanted me to be a cop and sent me to Edwards AFB after basic and tech school. It was there that I met and married my wife, Noel, in '77. Our daughter, Jennifer, was born in late '78, right after we'd moved to Fairchild AFB, in Spokane, WA.
I changed career fields during that tour from Security Police and spent the rest of my Air Force career in 'Safety'. During my Air Force years, we were stationed at George AFB, CA; Misawa AB, Japan; Hickam AB, Hawaii; and finally, Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM.
Shortly after "PCS"ing to Kirtland AFB, the Clinton administration started making big cut-backs to the military, and the Air Force offered early-retirement for enlisted folks. I was (literally) the first one in line at my base to sign up for that, and retired 18 months early in Nov '93.

que was pretty good to us. I started a business publishing a free, monthly computer publication called ComputerScene Magazine. Six years later, I sold CSM to a publisher from California, and spent the next couple years doing database development, computer consulting and basically enjoying life.
Consulting jobs started getting a little scarce after the "Dot Com" crash so I found a 'real job' again in Feb '03. I went to work for an AFL-CIO union named AFSCME, as database manager for a campaign to organize New Mexico state workers.
Things worked out pretty well and AFSCME offered me a permanent position, in their central region office, as 'data analyst' for that region. A few months later our stuff was loaded on the moving truck and we were on our way to Indianapolis, IN, where we've been enjoying life ever since.
