As I look over the posts, it strikes me quite a few members are military vets, or active duty now. So what branch were you in, what was you unit, when were you in, are what did you do (if you can tell)?

I was in the Air Force from '76-'80, Shaw AFB SC, part of the 363 Tactical Recon Wing. Was part of the 363th ATH (Air Transportable Hospital), the Air Force version of MASH.................the times we had!
