It was fun but it is time to come home.

Hopefully bringing a little something back that has no substitute.

That's what my dad did, I was born on Ramstein AFB hospital. I was just USMC reserve. My dad was the guy that spotted a missle site being built in Cuba 1962.

Kind of off topic but I was tutoring a Cuban refugee recently on basic some computer skills. His wife helps to take care of an elderly relative. While we were setting up his password for cloud services one of the password questions was "when was the first time you flew on a plane". He told me Angola. Turns he was a member of the special forces in Cuba (the Black Wasps). Over 300 jumps including 'suicide jumps' which are like barely a thousand feet. I went onto Wikipedia and saw that Cuba basically drafted everyone who could pull a trigger to send to Africa apparently in hopes of getting at all of the Soviet military equipment. Crazy stories of midnight battles, infantry killed by snakes. Very heavy casualties for some master plan of the beard's. He now works a menial job 16 hours a day while he learns English from language CDs I loaded to an Ipod for him, no military pension, no healthcare but he has his freedom.

Thumbs up for helping him to better his situation.
