he's already paid as Lt. Col (O5/6??), and will be pinned in the next
week or so.
I'm proud of him, he's a great guy, and a great serviceman.
He literally started Operation Desert Storm with now declassified operation Secret Squirrel.
At the time, it was the world's longest combat air mission. They flew non-stop from Barksdale
AFB in Shreveport to Iraq, and back. He followed that up with two tours for Desert Storm, and he's
been back twice in the last three years.

I have one of those secret squirrel patches. Call me cool.
As radar navigator in the B-52 program and Offensive Weapons Officer
in the B-1 program, he was consistantly rated the most accurate
bomber in his respective squadrons. Now he's teaching the young officers
how to be that good.
So kudos to my BIL!
