709 MP's Frankfurt Ge, 74-78, Hess Oldendorf Air Station Ge, 88-91. Ramstein AFB Ge, 91-02. Road trips to Gulf War 1, Somalia and Kenya for support inside Rwanda.
RAF Mildenhall, UK, then Ramstein Germany, and then Al Udeid, Qatar.
I felt safer in Qatar than I've ever felt in Memphis or St Louis,,,although the Qataris could use some driving lessons.
