Kwajalein still single status?  Ran into a guy working there about twenty years ago and he couldn't stop raving about the diving, which is my favorite hobby....Nice place...but me missus might complain if I didn't bring her...

Anyway, I did Lowry in '71 with the Marine detachment...then Cherry Point briefly, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand (still gouge marks on Nam Phong tarmac where they dragged me onto the plane LOL...), then Santa Ana LTA in California.  Got out and went straight to Saudi Arabian Airlines for a few years, then came down to Australia to work for an engineering company in Perth for a few years more, then back to Saudi airlines for six years, and came back to Perth in '91....been here since...mostly working at the universities...calibration officer at one, and currently technical coordinator for another.  Mostly IT, and some general repair and calibration of scientific equipment.  Great place.....

Yes, Kwaj is still single status.

Diving and fishing is great. 

Plus the fact I get to play with antiques and state of the art at the same time.

And because we're a GOCO ( Government Owned, Contractor Operated) we can go buy commerical software like MetCal and SureCal to support those items the Army says we don't have on an Army post. But, because we support so much commerical stuff. We get some nice ttoys.
