Sitting here at work listening to the jets & planes come in today for the airshow this weekend is really making my nostalgia kick it. I hear it & realize just how much I miss it.

What makes you miss your time in service?

Today it was the kids saying the pledge of allegiance on the radio on the way to work. Every day a different class from a different local school does it and it's pretty neat.

There are too many things to list but tonight when I get off work and tells me to turn the radio down because she has better song she is going to sing for me, I remember why I did.

Hi, A1C Roberts.

I was at Maxwell AFB last week when Retreat sounded. I would go back in today if I could.

Well I picked a job where I could still work with Marines, but it really hits home when my friends are going on the range or deploying and I'm still at work.

At work depending on my shift, I'm responsible do either evening or morning colors. Virtually every evening a guy and his friends are working on their trucks in their driveway directly across the street. I'll hear "Attention to colors!" and they come to attention while i'm lowering the flag. I'm guessing they're former or current military (call me Capt Obvious). It brings me back to my OOD days on the ship of doing morning or evening colors. I loved doing that.
