Two months at Keesler AFB in missississippi for electronics training. Didn't really care for Keesler's weather or the base, but did some habitat for humanity 2 years to the day of Katrina with 90% of the lower missississippi area not rebuilt.

4 months at Sheppard AFB in northern tx for avionics training.

Sheppard was cool being an airman leader and working with trainer C-130s.

Cool painting of Dover's first C17 over the C&D canal.

Anyway I work the flightline and see firsthand the massive job US Airlift does with very cool toys.

Looks like a lot of fun Adrian. While your in Delaware you could meet up with some of the Delaware chapter guys down there. There is a member from that chapter who is also at the Dover base. DAFBD58 (Ryan), he is with the Delaware Air National Guard Fire Fighters, I believe his rank is SSgt. He drives a 2002 F250 regular cab 4x4 Red..
