| Got started as a cocky AB in the 613th. Was the frist new guy they'd had in over a year, so everybody got their turn with me. Got really good at the washrack (still remember the Joes drinking beers during their breaks while "helping" wash the jets). Did a trip to Incirlik for NATO TAC Eval. Volunteered to backfill during Desert Storm with the 614th (The Forgotten 1000), who were an incredibly cool and well bonded group. |

| Helped start the 389th FS, bickering with the F-111 guys over all sorts of turf. We finally ran them out, and formed the first Composite Wing, comprised of 16s, 15C/E, B52s, and who knows what else. Stayed until I got my orders to Korea. |

| Ahh, Hill. As a single SrA/SSgt, I volunteered for every TDY I could get my hands on - no matter what the squadron. 3 Red Flags, 2 Green Flags, 1 Crash Recovery Duty in Nellis. Went to Al Jabber, somewhere else, and Kuwait. Somehow got picked to do William Tell 96 (Team ACC), immediately followed by the coolest TDY ever - Santiago, Chile, where Lockheed spared NO expense (and there were many) in trying to sell the Chileans the F-16. Crewed 88-0512, 88-0426 (crashed, pilot error), 88-0537. |
