Default Re: Veterans Day

Alaska Jim, my son retires as a Chief Master Sergeant, USAF on 1 March with 30 years. He started in Spec Ops on Pave Low H-53 helicopters and spent lots of time in the desert. Next was running the Osprey tilt-wing school at Marine base at Jacksonville, NC. Then to Barksdale AFB in LA and a B-52 wing. He, too, spent 6 month rotations on Guam with the 52s. Closest he came to getting shot was when they captured Noriega, his 53 got several bullet holes.
