Class of 1980
Air Force, 20+ Years
Joined the Air Force immediately after graduating from the University of Cincinnati in 1984. After flight training, I started flying WC-130 aircraft into hurricanes for 5 summers during my first assignment. I had so much fun - I've stayed in the Air Force ever since. Been all over the world, met interesting people, seen all sorts of things and had all sorts of fun while serving my country. I learned its not about tour destination, but about your journey in life; so live it to the fullest without regrets along the way!
