I was stationed at Rhein Main AB from Dec. 1989 to Dec. 1992. From there I went to Lackland AFB where I was assigned to the 323d Training Squadron as an Military Training Instructor ( TI ). I did that for three years and spent the last year in the academics section. I left the Air Force in 1995 and headed back to college as a full time student at Sam Houston State in Huntsville, Texas. I began working for a county correctional boot camp and then did the same in Corpus Christi. A year later I got on with the Corpus Christi Police Department. I have worked in Patrol, Traffic Safety, Community Relations and am now assigned as a Detective in the Auto Theft Division.

I am still married to Felicia who many of you met in Germany. Our daughter, Staci, who was born in Gross Gerau is now a Senior at Tuloso Midway High School. We have a son, Kyle, who is eleven.

Back a few years ago I ran into McDuffie, who used to be a K9 handler at the 435th. I have also seen John and Bobbie Kerrigan at a Crime Prevention Conference. (They look the same). John Venckus who worked with us on B Flight is now a Chicago Police Officer and has come down a few times to spend the Summer. I also saw SMSgt Baltzley, who took over for MSgt Landrum in Supply, at Lackland back in 1999. He retired and is the Walton County (Florida) Emergency Operations Center. Nelson Espinosa is also in Law Enforcement in Florida. A few of the other guys I have found on the internet and spoken to them on the phone. I am glad that we have this page to see our old friends again.
