31, and waiting with b-bag packed.    For weeks before our hospital commander kept giving us briefings that our UTC was tasked to go either to Saudi or Yemen it was just a matter of time, his words "we are on the invite list and just waiting for our airplane tickets".   They tasked almost the entire group at Mountain Home except for the hospital,  they took a couple of surgeons, some med techs, some admin guys and most of the Bio Enviormental guys.  The rest of us stayed behind taking up the slack on base and watched everything on TV.

16/17

It was after school was out, my high school rifle team was having a match against another school at our range.  I was one of the last ones on the firing line when someone turned their car radio up real loud so everyone could hear about it.

Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. ... Bertrand Russell

Even in 1991, I was still younger than Lazs and Mr. Toad. :D  I'm the same age as AKIron.
