Then joined the AF a few years later. Still in the AF. Funny part is, in both branches I've never had anything to do with aircraft. Its either been engineering or military police, go figure.

I love the A-10. I've worked on F-15, F-16, T-38, F-111, C-130, C-141, C-5's and a couple of chops, never an A-10, flown in an F-15 as a prize for being best airman. Would have loved to work on an A-10, those are some bad azz tank killa's :thumbright:

Your favorite is probably classified! Four years in submarines was enough for me.

4 Years is great. You served your country in a very difficult place. Be proud.
And yes to the latter.

I prefer the Predator drones.

Kinda cool knowing that something out of sight could be watching you and kill you instantly when some guy sitting in an air conditioned office clicks his mouse.
