Moved to Grand Prairie, TX in '76, then to Arlington, TX in '78, and so far, in Ok I've lived in Oklahoma City, McLoud, and Shawnee. I've been in Oklahoma since 1980, 24 years at the same address. I've worked on the Air Force Base for 27 years (only 7 more and I can retire, YEAH!). Working on an Air Force Base has it's ups and downs. We are always subject to being serched (car too) when we come through the gate, and there are times when we go on high alert and the base gets shut completely down. No entering or exiting. Sucks when you can't go home, but I'm proud of the work I do in supporting our troops. My husband's oldest grandson is currently in Baghdad, so every time I hear of a bombing, or soldiers getting killed, I hold my breath. I also have a very good friend and one of my former students in Kuwait. She's a medical tech in the field hospital and I worry about her all the time.
