Thats the Jap guy! I guess it was a year before I got there, but that is him for sure! Pretty crazy stuff. Do you do any diving in the area?

And yes, I am a diver now. Became certified in SCUBA a little after I got here. I have dove a drift dive at Cocoas Island, a night dive at Fish Eye park, and a handful of dives at the Navy base.

Air Force active duty here, at Goodfellow AFB. I hate Goodfellow, I hate my job, and I hate what I do here. I'm an electronics/computer maintainer, but I fly a desk with no job...can't wait to PCS.
I've had good assignments before though. Did a year in S. Korea, and a little over 2 yrs in Germany. Been TDY to Saudi, Qatar, Oman, and Iraq...total TDY time of 11 months...not including the 4 month "deployment" I had to New York last summer...what a blast. 7 years in. Love my career, just hate my job.

BTW I'm not in the military... done work at many bases as a civilian contractor. Wanted to thank you guys for all of your hard work. Did anyone besides me get to see the last Titan4 missile go up from VAFB last week? Quite a site! I live 10 miles from the base so I get a front row seat. I guess it can be seen very well from Arizona and Nevada also.

Active Army, in since 1989. Desert Shield and Storm and now I am back in Iraq. Most of my career has been Airborne at Ft. Bragg, except service schools, and one year at the 2ID in Korea. I served ten years in the 82d and the rest of the time in XVIII Airborne Corps as an Army truck driver. I hope to finish up my time in recruiting but I have to finish my time here in Iraq jockeying a desk.
