You are a SGT with less than 4 yrs service, then sounds like you are one squared away Soldier. Too bad your in a hurry to ETS

BTW, in your SIG; "DO NOT BUY THE SLP 85mm MAF. It made my car go crazy." I had to chuckle when I read that because I had a similar thing happen on my TA.

I sure was when they closed down Bergstrom AFB. I came back in the military in 2003 [direct commission 1LT USAR Nurse Corps] and regret not having the BAFB commissary available anymore.

Several times while on leave when I was active duty Marine in the 80's I used the weight room and other facilities at Bergstrom. In fact, I was an aircraft electrician on RF-4Bs in the USMC. If I remember correctly, BAFB had RF-4Cs?

I've lived in & around Austin off and on most of my life, except while in the USMC 1980-1988 [1984-1985 broken time]. Now, I live in Buda, which is 15 miles south of Austin & 65 miles north of my USAR Unit. I thought you might enjoy this site History of Austin Bergstrom International Airport [ABIA]
