Today marks my 17th year in the United States Air Force. It has been a long trip since I left Manchester PA behind and I haven't looked back or regretted a minute of it. I have seen some great places and made some of the best friends anyone could ask for. Being an Airmen is literally one of the most rewarding careers one could ever hope for regardless of the ups and downs and the go and bad. It is the mission and the people that make it completely awesome. Not to mention, without the Air Force I wouldn't have my family either! Here is to many more years to come.

I was 17 years old to the day when I signed my DEP contract so my 17th year in is even more special to me.

Just passed 30 years total service in April, and I'll hit 26 years Active at the end of the month. It's been an interesting ride.

It's been 21 years, 1 month, 1 day (Coincidence) since I left for boot camp.

Great people met, great experiences had. Met my wife. Don't regret a thing.
