USAF 1983-1991. Made it to E-5, tested for Tech but never found out my score before discharge. Civil Enginering Heavy Horizontal Construction the whole time. Started out at Eglin in Florida, was in Korea 88-89 at Kunsan and finished up at Fairchild in Spokane WA. Not one regret serving but when I met the Mrs. the military couldn't compete. :D
