It's where I started in the AF, but there wasn't enough money in it (on the outside) so I moved over to the electronics side. Specifically RADAR (30372)

I had a little over a year in meteorology school at University of Oklahoma, and a few friends that were Hurricane Hunters out of Biloxi, MS.
I was banging a navigator for a while. She looked damn hot in her flight suit. LOL

Being a weather bug is just a hobby now. My dad and I used to track hurricanes on graph paper when I was a kid via Ham Radio.

Were you ever at AFGWC at Offutt? That was my first duty assignment. I was a 491X1,later changed to 3COX1 (Compute and Communications). I ran the mainframes and Cray Super Computer that did all the forecasting and flight plans.

One of my brothers was a 1W0X stationed at Scott before flipping over to the Navy because he wanted to be a pilot (which he did until they grounded his plane - then cross-trained into intelligence and is currently stationed at MacDill... yesterday he spent 14 hours moving his HQ ops to Patrick for the week).

I was 3C0X2 (Computer Programmer). I developed dynamic database reports and managed flight databases for Air Mobility Command at Scott while I was in from 97-01.

Never stationed at Offutt, but I grew up in Omaha for the most part. My dad worked at Offutt as a defense contractor in building 500 through the 70's.

We lived in Titusville, Fl when I was real young where he worked for NASA on the Cape. We then moved to Yermo, California where he worked at Goldstone who tracked Apollo missions to the moon. He saw the writing on the wall that they were gonna shut down the Apollo project, so we moved to Omaha when I was 8 or so.

I spent 8 years in the AF.
My first couple years behind the Iron Curtain in West Berlin, GE.
One year remote in Hofn, Iceland.
Then to Biloxi as an AC&W RADAR electronics instructor.
Went to work for a defense contractor when I separated.

Long Wave Infrared satellite shows the core (black) expanding and fighting off that dry air (blue).
That's why the radar future cast shows it saturating and mixing out here in the next couple hours.

Starting to get rain bands in the area. Not at my house yet, but two guys I work with, one in Clearwater, one in Tampa said they just got them. Probably will get them here in the next 10-15 minutes.
 
There a lot of different kinds of birds in my area. I watch them. They're still out, flying and doing there thing.
As long as they and other critters are out and about, I don't worry too much.

Funny you mention this. I was living in W. Kendall during Katrina and Wilma and there were all of the sudden sea birds in our neighborhood and I knew we were screwed.
