Hello Fellow Veterans,

Thank you for your service to our great country. I had the honor of serving in the Air Force (active duty) for 4 years, and then I served 16 years in the Tennessee Army National Guard. I did three overseas deployments. As part of Operation Desert Shield in 1992 while an airman I deployed for 6 months to Saudia Arabia. Then as a soldier I deployed to Iraq twice (2004 and 2006) as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Note that I played my banjos over there each time and gave Old Time music lessons as well. Hooah!

	Mulehead Boy says: 7/29/2012 7:00:47 PM Thanks for the welcome, gents. By the way, please allow me to emphasize that like my father before me I had the honor and privilege of being an NCO (E-5 Sergeant) before I earned a commission.
