retired from the Michigan Army National Guard. You can view my
"Retirement Orders" by downloading an image of it at
Our Site Here. My total amount of military
time credited is 20 years, 4 months and 24 days. Over eight years of that was as an active duty
member in the U.S. Air Force. I am proud of myself for the time I spent in the

to many places: Texas, Colorado, North Carolina, New Mexico, Germany, Denmark,
Spain, Luxemburg, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Macedonia, Albania, Greece, Bosnia, and,
of course, Kosovo (Serbia). I was in the Air Force from February of 1982 to March of

side during my military career. Sandy, I Love You, you were great during my 17 &
