Military Roll Call - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

USAF_rider · 07-22-2007, 09:45 AM

Sound Off...

14.5 Years USAF

Spent the first 9 as Avionics (Guidance and Control Systems) on C-5s at Travis AFB, CA.
Got my degree in CompSci and crosstrained to a Comm-Computer Systems Programmer. Been at Fort Meade ever since.

IMO I have the coolest job... I work for certain govt agency actively collecting intelligence and penetrating/exploiting foreign systems.

I want to hear what some of the rest of you do since it seems we have a large community of military, active and retired.

NateHarris · 07-22-2007, 09:54 AM

Got out in 2000 after 12 yrs in the Navy. Spent a couple of years in school in Groton CT to become a Submarine Radioman. Did a stint overseas where I met my wife in London UK. Alot of those 12 years spent in Norfolk VA.

Still miss it sometimes, just don't miss the paychecks.
