Exactly 20 years ago TODAY - Monday November 30TH 1987 - I departed from my original hometown of the Washington D.C. area for a new and mysterious place that I had never previously been to before in my entire life.

I was headed southbound by air down the Atlantic coastline to Miami Florida. I arrived at MIA late that night, and then I eventually got on some type of military shuttle bus that would take me the rest of the way to my ultimate destination - Homestead Air Force Base.

I got in to the base a couple of hours after Midnight on the next morning, and I checked in to the Billeting facilities on-base. Technically December 01ST is my anniversary date here in Homestead, but since I actually arrived at MIA late at night on the 30TH of November I've always considered this to be my anniversary date.

I was a young 20-year-old Active Duty Air Force Airman First Class when I first arrived at the base, and now I'm a not-so-young 40-year-old Department Of Defense General Schedule Civilian with 20 years of experience. Give me another 20 years (or probably less), and I should be retired from civil service and living the good life !
