    Born at Camp Pendleton. Served as a military brat all my childhood. Then ran away to college.

    Flunked out of the Seminary and joined Uncle Sam's Misguided Children.

    Served in Viet-Nam and flew the third of the last Helo out of country.

    Took a break and tried to be civvy. I really tried, really I did.

    Re-uped, this time into the Army where I flew everything from OH-58 scooters to Cobra's and ended up as a test pilot on the AH-64 Apache.

    Fired the third shot of Desert Storm Ver.1.0

    They finally let me out in '91 so I went civvy again doing the same job but didn't have to get shot at and got paid way more.

    When I first met Bobbie she was a Army Capt. & we were both at Ft. Hood. Now I'm married to her and we make kilts. Who'd a thunk?

    It's quite possible you crossed paths with my cousin then. His ship was used in the evacuation and a lot of helicopters landed on it.
