I am currently working at the Walmart in Kerrville, Tx. As was the case with the military, Walmart has adopted the "Do more with less" attitude. When i first started out with the company I was assigned to the housewares department, now 5 years later I am still assigned there but with additional duties in the Domestics, Furniture, Fabrics, Paint/Hardware departments... ( and now Apparel.... for that matter.. anywhere else they think they can force us to work for a while) and at the same stinking pay.

Prior to Wally World, I worked for a year at Coldwell Banker real estate company doing their MLS data entry. Prior to that, I worked in about 6 different real estate companies in the New Port Richey/ Tarpon Springs area of Florida (7yrs). Started out my real estate career in Abilene, Tx in 1994 after I retired from the AF. (My wife got tired of me sitting around the house for a year.) Family and I moved to Florida about a year after that where the wife and I obtained our Florida license... to which I still have an active license even though I no longer live there...

F-4G Wild Weasel Details
Aircraft/Missile Information
On 15 August 1990, 24 F-4G Wild Weasel Vs and six RF-4Cs were mobilized to the Middle East for Operation Desert Storm. The reason for this was that the F-4G was the only aircraft in the USAF inventory equipped for the suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) role since the EF-111 Raven lacked the offensive capability of the AGM-88 HARM missile, while the RF-4C was the only aircraft equipped with the ultra-long-range KS-127 LOROP (long-range oblique photography) camera. In spite of flying almost daily missions, only one RF-4C was lost in a fatal accident before the start of hostilities. One F-4G was lost when enemy fire damaged the fuel tanks and the aircraft ran out of fuel near a friendly airbase. The last USAF Phantoms, F-4G Wild Weasel Vs from 561st Fighter Squadron, were retired on 26 March 1996. The last operational flight of the F-4G Wild Weasel was from the 190th Fighter Squadron, Idaho Air National Guard, in April 1996.[63] The last operational USAF/ANG F-4 to land was flown by Maj Mike Webb and Maj Gary Leeder, Idaho ANG
