[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 3677797, member: 13337"] In my 8 years in the USAF,,, I had one of those "Join the US Armed Forces and see the world" jobs. I was one of a very small AFSC that maintained unmanned seismic sites worldwide,,, My job entailed a slew of temporary duty (TDY) assignments. Sometimes the TDY's were wonderful,,, Six weeks in Jamaica staying at a nice hotel,,, Drawing over $50/day extra pay and working about 2 hours per day. Other times they were dismal,,, 7 weeks living in a tent in South Korea,,, Eating old Army rations and being wet 24-7. But, I did set foot down in 37 different countries and 49 states,,, I've never been to Rhode Island. Again sometimes it was land, get driven to the embassy basement,,, Repair a data transmitter, and leave that same day,,, Other times it was like a paid luxury vacation. I have family who have never crossed their state lines,,, And for some reason they seem proud of that. Aarond . [/QUOTE]
