USAF 1970-1975. Stationed at McDill AFB in Tampa with a tour (72-73) to Southeast Asia (DaNang AFB in S. Vietnam and Takhli RTAFB in Thailand). Good to see all the folks in here that have or are serving. It's an honor and priviledge and sometimes it's hard, but somebody has to do it and we did / are. My thanks and admiration to all.
US Navy - Enlisted Nov 1994. Graduated Naval Academy 2001. Submarines but did some good work w/ the 3/4 Marines and JCCS-1 (Army) when I volunteered to go to Iraq for a year. In Monterey, CA getting another Master's so I can continue this crazy ride - 21 years and counting.
Thanks to those that have served and are serving. Also, thanks to the board for being - "the board". I can't count how many times I'd drive the submarine trying to find the correct heading to get reception so I could check this board for info. Nor do I want to count the number of times I was in the middle of a desert huddled up to a random cell phone tower w/ my iraqi phone trying to get game updates from ya'll... Thank you...
I know it's a long shot, but did u know a Master Sgt. James Andrew Smith? Engineer who worked on the fighter jets. Would've been in Vietnam about the same time as you, I believe.
