I served in the U.S. Army from 1996 through 2005 with tours in S. Korea, OEF 2 and OIF 1. Proudly served as a Cavalry Scout (Recon!) and have got the stress fractures and flat feet to prove it. I’m also a fourth generation Army VFW ( veteran of a foreign war) whose forefathers ate #hit at Meuse-Argonne, the Ardennes and Rhineland, as well as in Vietnam. By far, one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Scouts out!

A fellow Comm Squad member. I do remember way back in the old days, the 80's, those data centers were massive and very secretive.. I always wondered what you programmers actually did..LOL..

US Air Force (1960 -1964)
I was a RADAR specialist stationed for 2 years at a Strategic Air Command (SAC) base in Maine which was loaded with F102 Fighter planes and B52 bombers. Those big
flying machines (B52's) have been patrolling the skies since 1952. In the Fall of 1962, the "Big Birds" were assigned to Florida as a result of the Cuban Missile Crisis. It was awesome to see all of them take-off from our 11,000-ft runway. And, an even more beautiful sight when all the B52's returned 2 weeks later. One of my biggest thrills was sitting in the cockpit of a B52. The cockpit's instrument panel, (meters, switches, Radar indicators) are absolutely mind-boggling. The last year of my four year career was at the Air Force Technical Training Center (near Champaign, Illinois) teaching RADAR electronics and systems. Fall of 1960, San Antonio, Texas.......
