Join the Air Force, see the world....Bosnia, Gulf 1 (went for his reserve weekend, didn't come home for over a year) & 2, ferrying planes back after, No fly zone support, DEA assistance, Insurlick for a year, et cetera. And, his F111 was part of the flock that left RAF Lakenheath for the Libya incident. I've joked that he had so many service ribbons, they were continued on his back. Then I found out, if you make a second trip somewhere, you just got the pleasure of being there. Oh, & a Purple Heart. In Alaska, during the coldest part of the year (how can one tell?), one of the crew caught his finger (removed the tip of) in the van door, on the tarmac, while on active status. That one, he never mentions. With a tanker, I'm sure you went through similar. PM for more twaddle......I, now, return this thread to it's original subject.

I wish my daughter was thrilled about me in a kilt.
Please do not apologize, I love to hear stories of other military members, even if by proxy. I thank your brother for his service and it looks as though his career was quite eventful! As for your daughter, I'll bet that she loves you in a kilt, but just hides it for whatever reason. For what it's worth, I am thrilled for you in a kilt!
