Hello everybody :wavey:

My name's Mike. I'm a Staff Sargent in the USAF currently stationed at Shaw AFB in Sumter SC in the 20th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. Guess I fall into the married but buddiless catagory of divers here. I've been reading a lot of the posts for a while but havent done any posting yet. Looking forward to diving with you guys sometime.

Mike, welcome to the board! I spent a bit of time at Shaw myself as an engineering liason to the 9th. I'm in Columbia, SC now. SC has a few worthy dives. There's always the near shore wrecks, Cooper River fossile hunting and Lake Murray and Lake Jocassee if you just have to get wet!

Where's home originally?

LOL! I sure did! Did you have anything to do with that?

Thanks for all the kind words folks. RichardB, I'm originally from Logan West Virginia. I haven't been stationed here very long. I was at Yokota AB in Japan for the last 2 years. That's where I met my wonderful wife.

The students became the instructors my grasshopper. :clapping:
As a CAC (Combat Air Control team) member I was taking a ground combat course at Shaw, my home base was Ft. Bragg.
During a night manuver the instuctors were supposed to attack us but a flank patrol jumped them in the dark, since the flanks were always changing the instuctors never did figure out which of us did it but they were glad to see us leave. During our time there they found out the hard way that one of our team was the USAF Judo champ and that on the obstacle course we didn't always sidestep a fight, more than one instructor ended up in a water trap.

Hmmm, I got to Shaw following a tour at Osan...well.....I was STATIONED at Osan, I managed to boondoggle a rather impressive number of trips to PACAF HQ at Hickam! LOL. If I recall correctly, there were a number of us there that had come from PACAF. My tour at Shaw was highlighted with three -16's going down within about 60 days of one another. Oh, and the initial crap in Saudi...and "area."

Mike,

Welcome to SD, I'm retired Air Force, so it's good to see you posting. I was also stationed in Japan, but I was up in Misawa for 8 years. Didn't find a wife, but sure enjoyed my time there. If you get a chance check out our upcoming trips and try to get out and meet some of these folks.
