Just wondering which excursion you enjoyed the most during your military career. So far my favorite has been Antarctica. Strange, I know, but there's a rythm and a lifestyle you get into that I really enjoyed. Plus the scenery was awesome and I got to take leave-en-route in New Zealand

I really like Romania, very beautiful place. We were right near the Black Sea.

I also like going to Boise, Idaho, Gowen Field. Gotta love a city with something like 5 womens colleges! Humpin' Hanna's and Shorties!

We do JAATTs (Joint Army Air Tactics Training or some **** like that) up in Salt Lake City. Those Mormon girls sure like to have some fun after the sun goes down.

Ellsworth AFB (South Dakota).....-60 degrees windchill.....NOT!

For real....Nellis AFB. Still call Las Vegas home after 20 years.

Pensacola Fl was nice when I was there. Yuma Az was a fun short stop, but way too many bars to stay sober for very long.

Just a couple hours north of me and only NOW I learn of this?!?!?! Gaaahhh!!!

(ah well, they'd all call me "sir" anyway...

)

My best assignment was as a Nuclear Surety engineer, Kirtland AFB Albuquerque NM. There were ten of us engineers, nine EEs and me the only ME, so I actually got to work on all the programs, including three black-world systems. Was TDY at least every other week, home on the weekends to play music, ski, date, or photograph. Probably the best job I'll ever have.

Best TDYs (I went there twice) was to Marconi Electronics in Chatham-Gillingham, England. Was there two weeks each time, and I just fell in love with the place. Weather was great both times (!!), girls was sweet, food was great (once we kept hitting the pubs with the French chefs; sorry my British friends!) and there was always something neat to do within easy driving distance (Stonehenge, the Grand Prix, Wimbledon, jousting, airshows, London, Dover, on and on and on...).
