Traveling With Your Pet
Living in North Carolina, for the third time in my life, I must travel 200 miles to visit my family and friends. These trips are manageable for me because I have a secret weapon to help break up the monotony. Her name is Ginger and she will be 6 years…

Gas Mask Realities
So, I've played quite a few video games in my day, and I find it interesting that they introduce the gas mask as an essential part of the game. This reminds me of my first experiences with the Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) ensemble and the different masks we actually…
The Budweiser Beach Bashes!
Ah, another favorite memory of living at Myrtle Beach AFB. During the late 1980's Budweiser used to have a weekend of fun and sun on the beaches of South Carolina. They were gracious enough to provide a few volleyball nets and volleyballs. Music was played loudly over the beach area…

Air Shows

Some Amazing Sights
Traveling as I have in the military world, I have been lucky enough to see some pretty amazing sights. These sights were not only amazing, but some where very surreal. The earliest one I remember was in San Antonio, Texas. There was a restaurant there, that actually rotated around in…
Memorial Day Weekend
This weekend is a true tribute to the men and women who have served, are serving, and have given the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. They have all come from different backgrounds, different heritages, different races, different ethnicites, and small towns and big cities. They left their towns, communities, cities,…
The Many Places We Go!
Recently, I began scanning through my memorabilia from my former military days. While doing so I found it interesting that I had been so many places in the 20 plus years of my career. I want to know if anyone else has been to that many places in their respective…
