I wish none of our troops were in harm's way today!  :x

Fort Leonard, MO [Little Korea] - I know what you mean about little Korea I was there between Nov70 and Feb 71 It is also as cold as a WDAII.

And door gunner would not be my first choice MOS

Since I`ve been thinking about this as well....My late father was RNZAF at the end of WW2, a Corsair mechanic, and my son is currently serving in the USAF. He is based at JBLM currently, but is soon to complete his remaining flight training, and will transfer to Travis AFB next May and join a C17 as the Freight Specialist. I`m really proud of them both, even though I lost my Dad some 39 years ago. I`m also proud of all our Active Duty Military, and give my sincere thanks to those of you that have served  previously....you have my humble admiration and respect....
