Started out at MacDill in 1986 crewing 78-0109. Went to TJ from there and work my ass off for 3 years but had a blast. Visited Homestead for about 8 months and got blown up to Moody for 3 years (met my wife there). Went to Osan and drank my ass off had a blast (Got married on mid-tour in Hawaii to April). Then Spangdahlem working on block 50's. This is where it gets ugly.....Cannon AFB NM in the 522 as Phase dock chief for 3 years. Then it got better Kunsan got lucky in QA for a year. Guess where I went after that? Back to lovely Cannon for a couple more years. Now I am at Kadena as a Pro Super learning a whole new jet after 19 years on the F-16. Enjoyed every assignment.

Is this the same Pastorius that I worked with at Cannon with Sgt Linkus etc? If it is I hope you and your family are well. I'm back at Kunsan...good times soon to PCS to Tyndall.
Take it easy bro
