Good morning everyone, I hope those of you that are in the path of this "Arctic blast" are making the best of it. I can't believe some of the temps that I see on those weather maps. We won't discuss our weather today, I just don't have it in me to sound like I'm bragging, I'm not, but it is what it is.
Frank, you're right, any service anywhere is a sacrifice, just that those of us that never left the states didn't risk getting shot at or having to dodge bombs or mines. Yeah, working on air-to-air missal radar in 100+ heat wasn't always fun, but it's what we were trained to do. Plus, it did give me a a path to follow when I got out, as it did for many others. I still get a warm feeling when I see and hear those F16's and F35's flying over our house on approach to landing.
