Things they are a changin'! I wonder if I can get this "LEAN" process to help with my waistline...need those PT points!
Current or Favourite assignment
Italy was just an awesome place to live, eat and drink! And the Government picked up most of the tab! Work was work, nothing new on that front. However, they do get some pretty choice TDY's.
The best people and unit I ever worked with were the "Widows". Always a good time there! That kind of leadership is sorely missed!
Deployments
OSW
PSAB-97,98
Kuwait-99
ONW
Incirlik, Turkey-01 (deployed during Sep 11)
Desert Fox
Deployed from Hill and took over Charleston, twice! That was as far as we got both times.
As for TDY locations...I can remember most...and there are many...some are still in a haze!

| Squadron Flagship. Acft S/N same as unit number. DCC was Ed Michaud, one of the best guys I've ever known. When Ed went to FTD I was able to take over as DCC a SrA...I was pretty ate up! I enjoyed it though. Dan Roth and I were kept busy! |

| SSgt DCC on "Two-four the war whore". Static display with Polish government tail flash during official ceremony in Warsaw, Poland. Prime Minister announcement of purchase agreement for the F-16. And yes, I was still pretty ate up! Just talked back a bit more. Travis Clark, Pete Spoelstra, Kevin Bryan and Damon Lee all were great to work with on keeping "the whore" a high dollar dame! |
