10-20-30 Meme
This one has been floating around the intertubes for awhile. What were you doing 10-20-30 years ago?
- 10 years ago - We’d just arrived at the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Dahlgren, Virginia. I was to be one of two token Air Force guys at Naval Space Command. It was a great tour and gave me a better appreciation for rust-picking boat drivers.
- 20 years ago - I was a young lieutenant finishing my tour at Cape Cod Air Force Station, Massachusetts. I had orders to go to Pirinçlik Air Station at Diyarbakir, Turkey for a one-year remote tour. Cape Cod was interesting, but too crowded and overpriced. Turkey, at this point, was ominous and enticing.
- 30 years ago - I was pumping gas in Juneau, Alaska. I had hitch-hiked to Alaska from Illinois after graduating high school. That trip was the adventure of my young life.
Let’s tag kingdavid, Hammerswing 75, and Karen - and how about Jamsco - to see what they were doing back in the day.

Sounds like an interesting project. I’ve got a few other things for the blog that are somewhat time specific, but I’ll try to get to this, say, next Wednesday.
Thanks for the tag.

Why do I keep forgetting that you’d gone to Alaska? I didn’t hitchhike, but I did spend a summer in Ketchikan after my freshman year in college. I’ve never been back, but I’ve always wanted to.

So you’re a Navy guy? I had no idea. I suppose that’s why it’s fun to do these things. I’ll have mine up tomorrow.

Navy guy? No, my parents were married. Actually I was an Air Force liaison to Naval Space Command.
