That killed the area when Clinton shut Griffiss AFB down. It still hasn't recovered.

First 15 years as an Artilleryman and the last 8 as an Electronic Warfare Specialist. Reenlisting was too easy and getting out was too scary. I never wanted to worry about where and when the next meal would appear. So I always chose to stay employed by Uncle Sam. I didn't want to retire when I did. I was medically retired last year.
