The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

1982-2005, some variant of computer geek, with some acquisition manager and operational support time thrown in. Retired as a Major. The USAF has changed the AFSC numbers so many times I don't remember them all. Mostly worked with big computer-based weapons systems like AWACS, GPS, Peace Shield, GCCS.
