James's Story
Life
the only life goal not completed right now is a visit to IRELAND. I hope I never really finish a to do list. New goals keep life from becoming boring. 28 years in the USAF gave me a chance to experience life in many societies and cultures. I hope this never stops.
I have been everything for a crew member on a B52, to a narc in the northern part of Thailand and southern Burma. The most enjoyable job I ever had was as an academic flignt instructor for basic enlisted flying. When the light goes on in a student's eyes I always got a real rush.
