Title: Any active or ex military here?
Post by: Queeg on January 05, 2010, 04:01:03 pm

Hi all,

Just got my ship date as an airfield systems apprentice in the United States Air Force. I leave April 20th.

Any other airmen or military here? Just curious.

Thank you for your service.  :cheers:

I know divemaster127 is a former USAF man, himself.

101st Airborne from 86-90. 

Stay safe.

The single worst attack on U.S. soldiers in the Gulf War killed 28 national guard support soldiers (non fighting).   Just because someone pilots a desk doesn't mean it's safe.

Ignore jim.  He is the type of --cream-filled twinkie-- who would have less respect for some types of service vs others.  Fortunately he represents a small sample here if not a sample of one.

Thank you for your service and thanks to the others here known to have served.

Or just straight up shoot him.

Then you'll have a whole forum full of people offering to buy you lunch.   :cheers:

There's also a Pancho's Mexican Buffet on Marbach that people rave about.  

I love Pancho's. Used to eat there in Channelview all the time, but now the closest one is in OKC, which isn't close enough.

I was USAF during the first gulf war, serving at Holloman AFB.  I was asked to go back after 911 now I do supply for the military.  I'm to old & fat to do the stuff back in 91
