Cold war, hot war, peace keeping, nation building, joint-ops, Red Flag, Brim Frost...Etc., Etc.  21 Years went in a snap.  My favorite smell will always be jet fuel and the sound of a turbine spinning up.  A lot of good friends and memories.

Fire service for 30 yrs this Nov. 27.  23 months to go 'till retirement.
Paramedic since 1983 - present.

In my section of the country, EMS is largely Fire Dept based.
Everyone, (in my city dept), has to be an EMT to ride on a fire truck, Paramedic is another step if you want to test & train for it.
You can say lots of bad things about pedophiles; but at least they drive slowly past schools.

Enlisted in the Army...flat feet and a heart murmur kept me out.

MAC trained killer.....(inside joke)
USAF 1968-1972.  437MAW Charleston, SC.   Pretty safe duty, except our group's mission was to pick up anything, anywhere, anytime.....state department personnel, the President's Marine 1 helo, covert operatives, space capsules.......new tires for the general.     Wish I had stayed for 20.
Will work for ammo

'Nam..Not quite that old.  1983-2004.  And it was my pleasure.  I'd do it all over again in half-a-heartbeat
