I was born in NYC, moved to Roanoke, VA when I was 10. Joined the USAF in 1982 and moved around alot until I retired in 2006. I now live in Panama City, Florida and love it here!! :D

24 years, I'm working on 6 years in the military. What did you do and what did you retire as?

I was born in Columbia, SC and lived there most of my life (lived in Tulsa, OK and Houston, TX for a little while) until I moved to Fayetteville, NC in October of 2006.

I was in the Financial Management career field and retired as a MSgt. Been stationed in the U.K., Arkansas, Alaska, Texas, South Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Washington D.C. and Florida. 6 years down for you, do yourself a favor and stick around for the remaining 14, PLEASE!!! :D Yeah, I'm biased but it's definitely the best career move I've ever made.

Born and raised near Madison, WI

Went to college in Menomonie, WI, about 1 hr. east of the Twin Cities (MNSP)

Moved back to Madison, where I live now.

How do you like living in Mad Town? I got a job offer down there, but decided to stay up here (larger offer). I figured I would be partying too much living in a college town.

naw. depending on where you buy a house (assuming it's not downtown), you can segregate yourself from the partying pretty easily. on the other hand, if it's a good time you seek, there are few better party towns in America than Madison when school is in session :)

what was the job?

Have lived my whole life (42 years in August) in Huntington Beach, CA. If we ever get a chance to move, my gf and I would both love to move to Northern Cal, though.

Born and raised in SOCAL...been all over, including NY, VA, FL, currently reside in San Diego.
Why would you want to move out of sunny SOCAL to northern rainy nocal? Just curious...
IMHO, there's no place in the world better than San Diego!

Main reason: overcrowded

Secondary reason: just like the atmosphere in Northern CA. My gf and I love traveling to SF as much as possible.
Also, I could visit Jack London State Historic Park anytime I felt like it and continue working on my book up there! :)

I'd gladly trade info for Mets prospects..... :lol: By the way, what was your AFSC?

Started out as avionics (325x1, which became 455x1), then I retrained into 2e2x1 (computers).
