Hi everyone! I enlisted in the Air Force in Febuary of 1999 and went into the Intelligence career field. Im currently stationed in Omaha Nebraska. Man do I miss Texas. I have travelled to 5 countries in the last year or so (been pretty busy) and I make a trip home about once a year. I will be getting out of the service in 2005 and plan to attend school in Houston. I still dont know what I wanna be when I grow up. Good to see that everyone is doing well. Would love to hear from you all so feel free to drop me a line. Also, anyone ever considering visiting Nebraska..reconsider. Its way too cold and way too boring.
