After 4 years Air Force and over 24 years in U.S. Coast Guard Aviation, I am presently retired. Senior Chief Petty Officer (Aviation Electrician's Mate) E-8 Just returned from Lackland AFB, Tx. where I attended my Grandson's Boot Camp Graduation. Quite a thrill...I also have a Granddaughter serving in the Coast Guard, seven years now.
