Retired effective 1 Feb 2014. Plan to travel,fish,work around the house and visit my grand kids. 2017 still fish and work in my yard . Had to stop travelling on our trike and just sold it . Haven't seen my grand kids in Colorado for three years . Bad feet and knees on many meds , old age sucks !
August 2019 I had a stroke and lost the use of my whole right side and speech . I have come back to getting around without a cane and can talk fairly good . I can drive and do most things only slowly . I am still getting better and feel half normal .

Other Memories The Photo Platoon had a lab and offices inside of a mountain where Nukes used to be stored or something from the days when West Ft Hood was a Air Force Base. It was a pain if we worked late at night as we would be locked in by the FOD at 1800 hrs. If you forgot and walked all the way to the entrance you had to walk back to call from the lab to get them to come let you out. I remember one SSG we had was old and had a Silver Star and CIB from WWII. He had a long break in service.
