I was in the USNR from 1970 to 1975. I was an AW-A E4 flying crew with P-2's and later w/ P-3's out of Glenview NAS (IL) (when it still was a NAS).

My son just landed today (!!!!!) in Ft. McCoy after a 1 year tour of duty with the 652nd Engr. Batallion (Army Reserves) in Iraq. He'll be home in about a week.

We are grateful he is back home safe and sound, but his wife and 1 yr. old daughter are probably more grateful.
