Great thread! I've been a MUD member for over a year and just found this...
First, thank you all for your service. Pretty spectacular what some of you have done. If we ever meet, the first round is on me.
My military time started in 2002 when I left my job at an investment bank in Chicago. Went to OTS and flight school and spent about 7 years flying the mighty B-52. I had the opportunity of accruing about 300 hours of combat time supporting OEF. I left AD in 2010 and am now in the guard. I have spent time in Germany and multiple countries of Africa. Currently in the DC metro area as a liaison, with our 'permanent' home in northern Michigan.
When not working we enjoy spending time camping with the 80 as a family. Last year we did a 7 week trip out west and ran the "Heart of the West" adventure route. Trip consisted of myself, my wife, our 5 year old daughter and 11 year old golden retriever.
Thanks again for all of your service, and have a great, safe holiday weekend!
Cheers!
If I may, I suggest adding 'Dr. Strangelove' to the movie list.
