C-141B 7-level crew chief/ 5-level electro/environmental tech. 88-96 349th OMS/AGS Travis AFB Ca.. Was activated for 1 year and change for Desert Storm. Got out when they de-activated my unit. Could have stayed and worked C-5's.... But couldn't stand the thought of working on FRED.
Was real shy about all the home-coming activities. Felt there were plenty of more deserving troops. The most hazardous thing that happened to me was when a drunk guy knocked the boom box into the hot tub at the holiday inn. Those tough Air Force TDY's!

14 YRs, 9mnth
Active Duty Navy, SH-2 Sea Sprites, SH-60F, HH-60H, and SH-60B Sea Hawks. Just came back from 4yrs in Japan and not instructor duty here in Pensacola, Fl. Im an Aviation Electronics Tech or as the AE's like to call us Tweets. It is nice to have people thank us for the jobs we do but it is not necessary. I do it so others dont have to. I have enjoyed my time and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Whoa, I'm impressed with all you "lifer" type guys. Not all of course, but you have certainly done your civic duty. I think from reading the posts I may be the oldest vet here and I only served 2 years, but one of them in Vietnam with about 4 months in western 'Nam along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Was in some stuff that was not real fun at the time. Anyway I'm glad to be part of a board that has so many patriots and I, as an old timer, congratulate you younger folks for your duty for our Country!
