21 years, 8 months, 1 day....retire Oct 1, 2006. Served my time. Enjoyed it. Time to move on.. . Hey, I hated airplanes too...especially the lousy A.F. pilots who flew them...that's why I jumped out of them every chance I got. I think they enjoyed seeing how many of us would fall down while we were waiting to jump out. That's why they flew like a roller coaster!

I sure would if I could. I'm too old now. But I would join in a nano second, to free people, or anything else we are needed for. Do you like your freedom of speech? Just wait if Democrats get in and they try to make nice with terrorists, you'll be speaking another language and praying to Allah on your knees 5 times a day. (forced to do so).

I serve my country by unconditionally supporting my husband who's been proving himself since he was able to sign those papers. The best soldiers have good families to support them, be it spouses or family back home.
