It being July 4th weekend. Out of curiosity, how many retired Military are on here? I personally served from Dec 1977 to Jan 1999, U.S. Army Enlisted, PVT-(twice) to 1SG. Armor (11E-19E) to Engineer (12F-12B). :tiphat: :cheers2:

The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

1982-2005, some variant of computer geek, with some acquisition manager and operational support time thrown in. Retired as a Major. The USAF has changed the AFSC numbers so many times I don't remember them all. Mostly worked with big computer-based weapons systems like AWACS, GPS, Peace Shield, GCCS.
