10. Small world -- we were in at the same time!

Interesting that we both end up as DU'ers, too. :)

Yeah, I hear you about hating where you were. The only time I was in TX was during basic training. Although, now that I think about it, my last base was Holloman in NM, and I used drive down to El Paso and Las Cruces on the weekend.

People often asked me now if I liked being in the military. I often say, "like" is not the word, but since I was a young kid when I went in, it did teach me some life-long lessons in discipline. On the flip side, it was also the place where any idealism I had about fair play in the world was shattered.
