Well, here goes nothin'...

I was hatched in '64 in Bangor, ME when my dad was stationed at Loring AFB. Moved all over including a few years in England and Belgium as a kid. Enlisted in the USAF in '84 as a gunner on AC-130a 'Spectre' gunships :twisted: and was commissioned in '88 (Colorado State grad) as a security forces officer. Served in FL, CO, TX, SC, IL, KS, England, Germany, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Mexico...and am finally stationed in Alaska 8) . Hope to retire in about five years and teach criminal justice at a junior/community college -- taking any hints/suggestions on how to get there from here (have BA in Poli-Sci and masters in Crim Justice). :?

Got an incredibly patient wife who married me sixteen years ago and keeps me on the straight and narrow -- two great kids (boy 9 and girl 12). I enjoy traditional archery, shooting, hunting, and work...believe it or not).

Oh yeah, and always ready to go back to the Middle-East for my third tour so our kids won't have to...

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt in Ak,

Good to read that you have spent a few years in my little country... Belgium.

For sure you'll keep in your mind 2 things from Belgium : waffels and chocolates

BER007,

I loved Belgium. Things I remember though were pomme frites, Stella Artois and Trappiste Ale, escargot, and beautiful countryside.

Cheers
