Best Moment
Professionally: Receiving my NAM at the Squadron Formation and having my big brother (then a Maj) pin it on me.
Personally: Having my brother with me when I met the love of my life and soulmate!
Worst Moment
My personal worst moment was being med-evaced to Balboa Hospital and not knowing if I would ever see the love of my life and soulmate again. And letting him know how much I love him!
Professionally: Each and every time there was an aircraft mishap at the EAF.

Other Memories
Teaching Karen to wash her car and change the oil! Yes, Karen you REALLY can wash the car with soap and water!!!
And cutting TAD Orders for someone to go to NBCD School and having him come back before it was over because "the shop couldn't function without him" - And knowing better that he couldn't function without ME!
