Tommy’s Story: Army Brat and AF Service Member

Which branch of the service are you connected to, how, and when?

I was an Army brat for 16 years and an Air Force Member for 4 years.

What was the best tour of duty as a dependant?

As a dependant, it would be Fulda, Germany. Made friends for a lifetime there.

What was the best tour of duty as a service member?

As a service member the best duty location was Bergstrom AFB in Austin. Unit felt like family.

How do you answer the question: “Where are you from?”

I usually answer that with a line from the Highlander movie. “Lots of different places.”

Where do you call home?

I call Hattiesburg, Mississippi home, because that was where I was born.

Thank you, Tommy, for sharing your story with us!
