David's Story

Life Living in Katy Texas, I retired from the USAF as a Master Sergeant in October 2002 after a little over 20 years (just long enough to get that retirement check every month). I've spent my whole career working on USAF computer systems. I used to work with the Predator drone communications and datalinks at Indian Springs AFAF just north of Las Vegas, it was my first job in the civil service after retiring from active duty in the USAF. I transferred to San Antonio in June 2005 to work for the DOD as a Windows Systems Administrator. Divorced and re-married, lovely wife (TieMei) and one stepson (BinBin). TieMei hated San Antonio, so we moved to the Houston area in 2007, I'm the Lead IT Specialist over the desktop systems at the VA hospital in Houston. I've traveled around the world quite a bit in the last 20 years. I've lived in Biloxi Mississippi, Shreveport Louisiana, Naples Italy, Prum West Germany, Oklahoma City Oklahoma, Osan South Korea, Panama City Florida, Woomera South Australia, Las Vegas Nevada, Helotes Texas and now finally here in Katy Texas which is about 30 miles west of Houston. I've got a website up at dacoleman dotcom with a ton of photos if you want to drop by. Workplace I ...Expand for more
went to work at the Owens Corning Fiberglass plant in Anderson SC after attending High School at nearby Pendleton HS. Owens Corning had a bad habit of laying me off for a few months every year around Christmas time so I decided to join the USAF in 1982. I spent my entire 20 years years in the USAF workng on computer systems until I retired in 2002. I then went to work for the USAF in the civil service working with the communications and data systems associated with the Predator drone program at Indian Springs Air Field (now called Creech AFB) just north of Las Vegas. The job was about to start requiring me to go overseas a LOT which I no longer cared about so I was able to to transfer to the San Antonio area with for the Defence Informations Systems Agency (DISA) as Windows System Administrator. Great job for me, but the wife hated the San Antonio area. So know we are in Katy Texas. I work about 30 miles away in Houston at the VA Hospital were I'm the Lead IT Specialist over the hospital's desktop computers. There's about 4,600 end users and over 3,600 computers so there's lots of stress and not enough people to do the job, bad combination. Maybe one day we'll be able to get back to Las Vegas.
