Good afternoon all,

Stumbled upon this forum from some members on another forum I’m on in Florida (GCGF)

Used to live in several areas in AL as I grew most of my childhood and teenage years there (Huntsville, Montgomery, Selma, Millbrook). Joined the military in the mid 90’s and retired in mid 2019 after 22yrs in the USAF. I reside here in Navarre FL close to Pensacola.

Looking forward to talking to the members here!

Mike

Welcome to the group! Former active duty AF vet myself. I was stationed at Keesler, Moody and Nellis in the 1980’s. I haven’t been here long but I’ve dealt with some super helpful folks here so far!

Awesome! I was at 2x USAF ANG units in Montgomery, Boise ANG, before I went AD. Was stationed at Mountain home, Osan, Elmendorf, Davis Monthan, Kandahar Afghanistan, Andersen and Hurlburt.

What was your job while you were in?

Yeah there are quite a few members on GCGF from Alabama. I visit time to time as my mother decides her time between AL and FL.

I was an EWS technician. I did 4 years and would have stayed in but the wife had different ideas lol. I miss it to this day.
You saw a big piece of the world!

I hear you and seen it happened a lot. I kept pretty busy on TDYs and deployments since I inspected aircraft. It was a great experience, but everything comes to an end I guess.

Welcome! Boy oh boy I see my post in GCGF make some folks mad but it is what it is!

I was wondering what that is all about.

It’s probably just a couple grumpy guys. There was a couple members that on GCGF that always stirred up stuff that was pointless and caused people to leave. I’ve dealt with a few members there that swap parts pretty regularly. We either meet up since they are so close or ship. Shipped a couple guns as well.
