Still working UXO jobs

We're getting ready to hit the road in our new UXO mobile. My wife is headed to UXO tech 1 school later this month. Then we go to work.

Until then, we split our time between Bonita Springs, FL and Ft Wayne, IN.

Still into motorcycling? I ended up with an 05 Goldwing. Love it even after 60 K miles so far.

I'm not in the Nat EOD assn. What's it about?

Well, my first 6 years in U.ncle S.am's C.onfused G.roup I was a Subsistence Specialist (fancy name for a cook). Well, I finally grew up, realized I had half a brain and switched over, after 6 months of intensive training, to be a Health Services Technician. After doing this for 3 years, the CG sent me to an Army school in Aurora Colorado for 35G and 35U, basic and advanced biomedical electronics repair technician. I did this for my last 11 years in the Coast Guard. It was my most rewarding job of my entire 20 year 7 month and 15 days of my career in the Coast Guard.

USCG ADCS Retired

I spent 20 years and 20 days in the Coast Guard. After boot camp I went to AD A school and spent my entire time in Coast Guard Aviation. Crewed on C130 B, H, Hu16E, C131A and Hu25A. As you can see all fixed wing.
Since retirement I spent a short time with Falcon Jet as a Factory rep and the last 12 years as a Project engineer for Dresser-Rand.

Regina and I are planning to retire this summer and spend our winters where its warm. We are booked this next winter at Mac Dill. My dream to become a snowbird is finally here!

I started off as a 431x1 T-33 Crew Chief at Tyndal AFB, Fla. ( great tour during spring break). I took my first overseas tour (even though it is the states) to alaska where I worked on the T-33 with the 5021 TOS. We were a adversary threat target for the F-4 C,D & E. I was volunteered to cross over to the F-4 transition dock when we got rid of our F-4e's and started getting in the F-15A. Left the land of no Sun and went to George AFB as a F-4E/G Crew Chief/Hydraulic/Engine troop. This was one of those tours that I will always remember as the one I hated the most. Spent 5 years in the high desert and hated it. I spent the next 6 years in cold and rainy England working F-111E/Ef's loved the tour but could do without the extra duties. I spent two years there working in the Maintanance Control center keeping the status on three squadrons of F-11e's and 1 squadron of EF-111's. Finally finished my active duty days at Nellis AFB, Nv as a F-4g Crew Chief on the last Weasel Unit, when it deactivated I went to the A-10 Squadron as a Expiditer / Crew Chief. I retired in July of 1999.

To everybody that has served, is serving " thank-you " lets all say a prayer for those still serving in hostile areas and for those who have lost someone during actions.

Hi all!

I am new here. I plan on checking out the Rpods during the RV show and hopefully getting the 172.

Surprised to see 31V was one of the first MOS's listed. This was also my MOS during my enlistment from 85 to 88.
My two duty stations were Ft. Carson and Coleman Barracks in Germany.
Hello and S! to you all!
