[Silver Fox]

US Air Force CMSgt (E-9), retired. I served from April 1984 through September 2009.

I had a wonderful 25 years in the Air Force. I got to see the world (including taking my "T" to Germany/Holland for a couple years), and had some other great experiences.

On my first tour in Europe (45 minutes from Amsterdam in Holland), I met my Dutch wife. My son didn't even speak English until he was five due to us living in Holland when he was learning how to talk.

I got to fly backseat in an F-15 (ever so slightly better performance than a TR by the way), a T-6II trainer, and right seat in a NATO AWACS E-3A. As a private pilot, each of these flights was a very special treat for me.

I was the senior enlisted advisor to a two-star general, and got to lead a career field of 350 enlisted men and women stationed around the globe.

I miss it, and still miss putting on my uniform in the morning.

After I retired, I decided to continue serving the Air Force and our country in a civilian position.

U.S. Army Combat Photographer (25V) 2000 - 2007

I had finished Basic Training and was in Advanced Individual Training at Fort Meade, Maryland on 9/11. We were about 30 miles from the Pentagon and just across the street from the NSA. Our nations number one intelligence agency seemed a likely target as events unfolded that day. I won't go into details of that day or the time that followed but I will say that it was a very surreal environment to find myself in.

Thanks to all that have served and those that continue to serve!!!
