Thank you. I was assigned to Bragg for my final 13 years, though I only spent 8 years physically on Bragg, with trips to Germany, the Balkans & Africa. Same old song & dance- go airborne & go on jump status at Bragg & you'll never leave again for very long. Especially when I reclass'd PSYOP, as even our AIT & NCOES schools were at Bragg.

HATED Fayetteville, but loved NC, so we moved a couple hours north, half way between Durham & Greensboro & stayed there till last year. It was nice & we had good friends there, but no family. We were fortunate to retire so early & decided it was time to go "home" to a cozy house on a private/secluded patch of dirt. Multiple cross country house hunting trips led us here & we love it. Wife was born & raised a city girl & was a little hesitant about living way out in the country, but is becoming a fan quickly. Even likes to get out in my little fishing boat & get hooks wet with me.
