Oh, the overhands on the flight line, seen them on Google earth.....nope were not there, hot MotherF ***er with those Eagles out there. I think someone in AF assignments loves to send people from Alaska to Arizona. I started at Elmendorf AFB and was sent to Luke AFB, then got a remote assignment to Iceland with a follow on back to Alaska. I got out before going to Iceland after the gulf war when the AF was paying $$$ for enlisted to get out. A good friend of mine went between Elmendorf and Luke two times with Holloman thrown in there. I think they do that so you need to buy all new cloths, keep you winter gear, you'll be going back!
I currently work in Medical Field service, CT and MRI. I used to work in Semiconductor Capital equipment. Both industries pay very good and both look for ex-military technical guys. It doesn't hurt to have an EET degree or something similar. Check out the semiconductor field, hell Intel is huge in Chandler and there are several Semiconductor vendors out in the phoenix area, most on the east side.
As for the wife I'm lucky, she makes 2.5 times what I do....but I still buy all my own toys.
