I'm an active duty Air Force officer w/over 26 years of service. I enlisted out of high school, took college classes at night and on weekends to get my degree and eventually my commission.

I'm a Logistics Officer...I don't fly airplanes, but my troops fix, load, refuel, and manage the aircraft while they're on the ground. I'm currently commanding an Aerial Port Squadron--my Port Dawgs load people and materiel on cargo aircraft all over the world. Here's a picture of us on the job in Baghdad deployment before last...



and here's me blowing off some steam




It's not just a job, it's an adventure...or so they tell me

That's a 60K Loader alright. Fortunately, I'm home now, for a little while at least.

Stay safe. I hear Taji can get dicey at times. Hooah!

Nice! I love primered trucks. Looks agressive like that... almost like the back alley thug.

I'm an O5. I'll be in 30 unless they mess up and promote me one more time, then I'll hang around for a couple more.
