I was born in Montana and lived there until 1973 when I enlisted in the Army. Since then I have lived all over the United States. Came Back to Montana for a couple of years to finish college and then went in the Air Force.
I was an infantry grunt in the Army and a navigator/electronic warfare officer in the Air Force. I have the Ranger Tab, Senior Parachutist Wings, Senior Navigator Wings, British Para Wings, and the Expert Infantry Badge. I have over 3,000 hrs flight time in the B-52G and B-1B. I retired from the military in 1994.
My wife gave me a Warbirds CD for Christmas 98 and has regreted it ever since :-) I started looking for another squad after my old one (Drifters) started coming apart and was lucky enough to check out the 352nd web site.
Sometimes in life we find a real treasure and I think I've found one here. This an outstanding unit filled with outstanding individuals.
