When I was nineteen, I joined the Air Force to avoid the draft.
Since 197.
Since that time in the early 70\'s I continued to find jobs that allowed me to travel.
This gave me a taste for traveling that I never lost.
This was followed by a tour in England where I visited Germany, Spain, Italy, and Norway.
That was the first country I lived in outside the US and I visited Vietnam, Laos, and Australia while there.
My first duty station was a remote hardship tour in Nakhon Phanom Thailand.
