Surfin'...Surfin' USA..
I know, I know.. Air Force Goof.. lol.. I couldn't resist..
this is at an Air Show and I was in the A.F. Reserves...
Simulated Gas Mask... Goof!
This kid wanted an Autograph because I was in England for Desert Storm...
aww, how cute, eh?..
And no, I didn't tell him I spent most of my time in the British Sgt's Mess playing darts and drinking Guiness,  waiting for casualties that never came... Thank God.  :o)
"This won't hurt a bit, Col."...hehehe
This was one of many Medical Readiness courses .. aka Med Red.. demonstrating a sling & swathe on my C.O. (Commanding Officer).
This Med Red was in Alpina, Michigan
in March...
camping in the snow for a week...
ugh.. brrrrrrrrr
While in England for Desert Storm,
my unit was stationed at a RAF (Royal Air Force) Base..
the Brits had never had Mexican food... we had a cook in our unit and decided to treat the Brit Soldiers to our Americanized Mexican food... I was in charge of making Taco Salad Bowls.. ugh.. sitting over a deep fryer all day..now I know why I never went into "fast food" business.. lol
(look how young and scrawny I am in all these pics.. this was in Feb '91)
This next 2 pics are from when we came back from Desert Storm...
I found the pic on the left at the Wing Public Affairs..
and asked them if I could have it after they were done..
(no, I'm not with this guy anymore.. but I love the pic)

On the right,
is the normal abnormal Teri,
with the US Flag in my pocket..
:o)  Glad to be home ..
Even if the Homecoming was
a big dog & pony show..
lol
One of the hardest things for me is to call me a Veteran...
Although, I was activated and sent to England with my medical unit and I have the status of vet...
I can not make comparisons to the sacrifices that my Armed Forces brothers' and sisters' made in the Gulf.
As I told a friend.. I may have not been on the front lines physically.. I was there with them in Spirit and Heart.
