Please count me in as well on the generous karma as a rep of a long family history of serving military back to the civil war.

My immediate family all served. Dad retired USAF, met mom there. Oldest brother USA Rangers, mid brother USAF SS, me - USA 19D from 1987-1991 separated after Gulf War 1.

Working for the military now from 2008. Trying to still give back.

Q thanks again for your generosity and support of the military members here.

My Dad graduated from the Coast Guard Academy in 1954 and after a couple of years at sea went through naval flight training. He flew fixed and rotary wing aircraft and was in for 30 years.

My second oldest brother went to the Coast Guard Academy, did his 5 years and then left to pursue civilian opportunities.

I also went to the Academy, did my 2 years on a ship and then went to flight school. I flew the HU-25A Falcon Jet doing search and rescue (SAR), marine environmental protection (MEP), fisheries, and drug/migrant interdiction flights during my total of 20 years.

One highlight was flying up in Alaska after the Exxon Valdez oil spill with the Aireye version of the Falcon that had an IR/UV pod and side looking airborne radar (SLAR) that we used to track the oil spill for a couple of months as it traveled out of Prince William Sound and down into the Gulf of Alaska.

Thanks for the chance at this most generous karma.

I'm retired USAF (1991-2011). I was a special agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI). I specialized in anti-terrorism operations and served eight deployments to the Middle East. I now write novels where I incorporate my military history into my fictional stories. davideldonjones.com

Please include me. Army veteran from 94-98. My dad and two uncles were Army as well! Thank you!

Congratulations! And thanks, everyone.

Wow!!! I have been awake since 1:00 AM and just got around to reading SigForum.

I am always grateful your generosity to members here but appreciate your wisdom much more. You inspire me.

Sorry about the mixup on my email messages.

I was so excited when I sent the first message that I did not pay attention to the address I was sending from and used my work account, KL********, instead of my personal account listed in my profile, Ken@******.

I did follow and you should have messages from both work and personal now as well as my cell number.

Thank you again and in the words of Col. Leonard B. Scott, Charlie Mike (Continue the Mission)

Congrats SW_Sig!

Thank you 12131 for your continued generosity and support for our military veterans and their families!
