    What didn't I do in the USAF? In my younger days when my clearance was being "re-evaluated" as a result of some drunken fun, I scrapped boogers off of bathroom walls and did weeds-n-seeds...got shot off of several carriers...that was a real hoot...actually had more sorties with the USN than USAF...spent so much time with the USN I went through Chief's Initiation back in the day when they could still do stuff to ya...saw a lot of places...some of em with a pretty good pucker factor...basically what I did in the USAF was "had a blast"...How bout you?
