Taurus9mm's joke about Bubba got me to thinking. Have you ever been somewhere way away from home and run into someone you knew? It's happened to me many times and it still never ceases to amaze me. I was in Qatar last year with Enduring Freedom and one of my former high school students was in the lunch line with me,,,,another night my nephew from Memphis came strolling thorugh the aerial port on his way to Iraq. Many years ago I was walking down the ramp of a C-141 at some airpalne patch in the Pacific and I hear my name, "Hey Critch, what'cha doin' here?" It was a high school classmate...one of the strangest was at the Weapons Systems Evaluation Program in 1990, I was working flares in the munitions holding area and I hear my name followed by a bunch of expletives....I recognized the voice immediately, an old girlfirend from 18 years before when I was in the regular AF,,,"Why didn't you write, you SOB, you *#@!",,,I remembered why I didn't call, and she was a major by this time, and still in the Regular AF, I was a lowly Guard Tech Sgt.
