USAF 1977-1982....Last duty station, Torrejon AB, Spain...401st TFW, Munitions Maintenance Squadron. I also got to spend every other month at Incirlik AB, Turkey or Aviano AB, Italy on TDY.

Thanks to all active duty military and vets for their service. It is truly appreciated.

Believe it or not, this long-haired heavy metal headbanger served 6 years in the US Army - from 1988 to 1994.

Served in the field artillery as a cannon fire direction specialist working in the FDC.

Now-a-days, working as a civilian contractor writing software for the US Navy Aegis program, so I kinda still serve in a round-about sorta way:

That picture is a few years old (check out that mullet that I had then! [:o])

US Army 1980-1986

The proudest 6 years of my life, stationed at Ft. Dix, NJ, Lowry AFB in Denver, Ft. Hood, TX (home of the 1st Cavalry Division...uurah), and the 51st Signal Bn in Ludwigsburg, Germany (what happens in Germany stays in Germany...good stuff)!

And I, too thank each and every man and woman in the armed forces today stationed here and abroad serving our great nation...Let Freedom Ring!

I don't think there are too many active duty members presently, but we haven't heard from Andy Barr yet (our very own HDBRbuilder)...let's not forget his great contribution (and great personal sacrifice) to remain there in harm's way when he's had opportunities to come home for good! Andy's truely a devoted American who believes in the mission at hand (no matter what our opinions are on the subject) and is performing his duty in a professional and dignified manner. For that, he deserves our most sincerest thanks, and our prayers.

God bless you, Andy, wherever you are![A]
