I'm originally from Wis. Joined the USAF in 1966, first tour of duty was Mt. Home Id. Met my wife there. Went to Viet Nam then finished out my 1st hitch at Holloman AFB N.M. Re-enlisted with tour of duty back to Mt. Home. That was my home address for the next 16 years. I retired from the A.F. in 1986, and we have spent the last 30 years living in Utah. I spent my 20 years as a Jet engine Technician in the A.F. I worked 5 years With Morton Thiokol after retirement as a Rocket test Technician on the space shuttle boosters, was laid off in 1992 and went to work at Parker Hannifin Aero Space in Ogden as a Hydraulic Assembly and Test technician on Boeing 737 flight controls. Left there in 1999 and went to work for the Civil Serice at Hill AFB in Utah where I'm currently a Quality Assurance Inspector on the F-22, F-16, A-10, and the C-130 aircraft. The wife and I love to hunt and fish and try to spend a few days in Idaho doing both every year. We plan on retiring within the next several yrs. and haven't decided on Id., Mt., or Wy. yet. I have met several people off the Idaho BFT site and had some help from some of the members last summer on some sweet fixen's for the Kokanee at Anderson. If any of you ever make it to Utah and require any info feel free to contact me. Tight lines and I enjoy reading your posts.[cool]
