What's this?

Cool, I started in the army side then wen air guard for a few years

when I got out. I got there Jan 94, I stayed on ad for a while after Desert Shield. I really miss the base at the airport, took my youngest son there a couple of years ago totally deserted. Just went back to Pickett this past weekend and that place is also a ghost town. Son wanted to see retreat, he is trying to decide between air and army guard when he graduates from VT. They didn't do colors at the post HQ anymore.
