Spent several years aboard the US Coast Guard Cutter Steadfast out of St. Petersburgh, Fla. Followed by two years as a C-130 navigator/avionicsmen flying out of USCGAS Sacramento, California. Civilian now and sometimes wish I was still in the Coast Guard. Now in East Tennessee and have not seen the ocean since our last vacation to Fla. Damn I miss Florida!! peace

Just celebrated 17 years in Uncle Sam's Canoe Club. Currently serving on USS Carl Vinson somewhere in the Arabian Sea. Former Chief Journalist and combat cameraman, now a 6470 LDO Photography Officer converting to Public Affairs Officer.

With workups and deployments, I've got plenty of at-sea time to think about what I'm going to do with the Fiero. The downside is that I then only get a few months of wrenching time before we go back to sea and the project goes on hold again. Definitely looking forward to some good shore duty.

27 years active duty Air Force- retired a few years ago

Next month will make 20 years in the Navy

Getting ready to hit 15 years Army National Guard.

23years ANG full-time technician AFSOC (read AFSOC as the pleasure of being deployed all over the world at a moments notice) Crew Chief EC-130E medically "thrown out" back in 2003, miss my military friends but DON'T miss the BS!

I would like to suggest that everyone possible get veteran plates especially combat plates if you can. They have gotten me out of more tickets, even with state troopers. Even from a state trooper when I was out of state. I was in Pittsburg wearing all Cleveland Browns gear and got a written warning.
