Welcome Fred!

Cool that you were able to be at the San Jacinto commissioning ceremony. Did you also attend the Wasp's.

welcome fred, my Dad received an adult stem cell transplant at Wilford Hall in 1997, he had some great Drs. and Nurses, he's with the Lord now, but I was very thankful for the USAF Med Center, now closed. I also went by Bob Days old shop, he was one of the lead gun smiths for the USAF pistol team.

Thanks. Unfortunately, family contact was not able to procure tickets(also, cg-56 commissioning was in houston, hop and a skip from san antonio, v trip to pascagoula, which I think was where wasp was commissioned.)

USAF certainly is top service here in SA , but it is such an amazing amalgum of services and such great servicemen and women.

I'm 21 years old who lives in the mazandaran province ( northern coastline of iran) .
I got my bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of mazandaran and I'm currently studying mechanical engineering in university of noshirvani
Again, welcome, Shahryar.

I'm single and that's why I enjoy life.
You are young and should be enjoying life while single. But, I can say this after many years.

I am married for 38 years, have five kids and now ten grand children...and that is precisely why I have enjoyed a long and productive life.

Perspective can make a difference over decades. As it is, continue to enjoy life, treat people fairly, try to have empathy, and be grateful to God for all the good you have.

Pomegranate is a very healthy fruit, rich in antioxidants. Do you juice the fruit and bottle it like our friend MirageDriver bottle his wine?

yes i do...
Sometimes I do it myself but most of the time I get non-alcoholic beverages from a local store
