Thank You to all Veterans
Anyone care to list themselves as US Veterans including the Era and Branch in which they served?

I got in at the tail end of Vietnam. Nine years active duty as a flight navigator/instructor/evaluator flying in the USAF Strategic Air Command (hence my continuing passion today for promoting and teaching "traditional" land navigation techniques). Continued with a combined 22 years in USAF Reserves as a research laboratory engineer.

I won the Cold War with my Nuclear Powered Submarine, 1976 - 80, and made almost no contribution to CO2, (at sea 76% and had duty in port almost ever other day/night), no time to drive a car or heat my house.

I got lucky and didn't get moved to MM, as many folks did when they phased out Titans. I thought I'd had enough of "24 hr. alerts'... But ended up doing many nights in Alert Facility's while flying on AWACS. Overall, I loved doing silo time. ![]() |

We also had frequent 30+ day task force TDYs, but thankfully nothing like the extended deployments of today.

USAF '70-'74, 9 days TDY in Vietnam, which was more than enough. Andrews AFB with the 509'th bomb wing in SAC, the symbol for the 509'th was a mushroom cloud and a pair of wings. Then a year at Cold Bay Alaska with an Aircraft Control and Warning System, and finished up with Headquarters Command at Andrews AFB outside Washington DC.
