Mixed in those years was a career on the Western Rivers as a towboat captain when the lure of the Army wasn't calling me back for more time. 
Loved every second of it. Fun, Thrills, Adventure.

AF 27 years with a five year break in active duty and AF reserve time going to college fulltime, then resuming my active duty career. I was almost drafted with draft number 7 in 1971 when i realized i had no chance so I ran from the Army draft and enlisted in the AF. Was a medic and then Medical Lab technologist until I found a better way to draw blood with no AIDS risk . . . the M-16 and did my last 20 years in weapons as Combat Arms Instructor/Manager.

Military
My husband is a Vietnam Veteran, 100% disabled from his injuries in Nam. He was in the US Army, 101st ABN Div and was medically retired after serving 3 mos in Vietnam. I am also a military brat - my Daddy served in the USAF for 20 years, so this lifestyle is something I'm very familiar with. My husband and I are fulltimers since I retired in Nov 2007 and we stay mainly at military bases. We enjoy the camaraderie, the safety we feel on post/base, the PRICES and the amenities.
