In 1989 I had just returned to MI from school in CO, I was working at a gas station driving a tow truck until I found a job working in aviation. I found one in Orlando FL in Feb and moved in the first week in March. The end of Sept I got married and moved her down to FL.

I was in 8th grade and can remember every event you listed as though it was yesterday... my father instilled a commitment to understand the world I live in at an age much younger than 14. Life is great, enjoy it.

Was pissed that part of my unit was not to go on leave, instead had us board a plane and flew south. Got issued an AT-4 for the first time just a week or so prior to operation Just Cause after a group of Americans got jacked up on the bridge outside Panama City. What a miserable place to sweat in.
Get some 3/5 1st Mar Div Damn I feel old... |

Let's see, we had been married 6 years by then, our son was 3. Hubby and I both out of the military by then and hubby was in the National Guard. Watched the Berlin Wall fall, and wished we were still back there since we were stationed there. Hubby was concidering going back in,but the fall of the wall didn't help at that point.

We just finished having a home built in Md that took forever but worth the wait. Our first child (Daughter) was born in March shortly there after. I was a 28yo Yuppie.
At the time, driving a BMW 325, which was quickly traded after the baby, for an Isuzu Trooper II

Center Grove???? Graduated Decatur Central HS, granted not in 89, but 97. 89 I was still living in Akron, OH, and two years later the US Navy decided they did not require the use of their new Advanced Nuclear Attack Sub (Seawolf Class), so my Dad got laid off from Babcox and Wilcox since there was no need for the new boiler units.  Anyone remember the original name for the new Seawolf class sub? Hint it wasn't the Seawolf. |
