A Texan Among Foreigners

Who is Tex?

Briefly, I am a Texan, retired Army, and I have finally returned to Texas. I am currently preparing for my next career. My expertise runs from admin to webmaster and some system administration thrown in for good measure.

I like to travel, read, cook, and other things. I have some experience in Japan, England, France, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Malta, the Canary Islands, Morocco, Mexico, and Korea. I also will answer questions (or direct your questions to others with more information) on the Army vs. the Air Force as a career.

GO AIR FORCE!

Top 10 Reasons why the Air Force is better than the Army!

Adult Leadership! (As opposed to the Army's great leaders such as the former(?) Sergeant Major of the Army, McKinney!)

Excellent munchies! (The different philosophies on (chow?)

The billets (dorms?) are much better and not as crowded.

The uniforms are cool! (Well, we won't go there.

Stable assignments. (You do not PCS (move) as much!)

Better (promotion) system. (A little slower but overall fairer system!)

Better base support! (Better Exchanges, Better Commissaries, better MWR, etc.)

More exotic places to go TDY. (Japan as opposed to Fort Bliss; Spain as opposed to Fort Hood; France as opposed to Korea!)

Better base maintenance.

Better base security! (But we won't go there now..)
