Learned to fly helicopters as an aeroscout observer; traveled the globe a few times; sang and played guitar in several rock bands; started a family; bought a house in Colorado Springs; spent 7 years in Korea; spent 2 years in Afghanistan; and I'm currently in Iraq...finishing up the mission here before I go back to Afghanistan next year.

Ms. Kentosh (Chemistry) asking "Who's Dick Hertz?" Then fighting back the snickers and giggles with Derrick Locust...(RIP brother).

I've only been back twice since graduation.

Nope, Army life barely lets me hang out with my own family these days.
