Not me. (Though my wife, father, step-father, 2 brothers-in-law, and many of our friends and family are). I'm just chiming in to suggest maybe adding what branch of the service you were in, as well.
How's this? (Feel free to add names or details as appropriate):
1. G. D. Akin
2. Ronn! Blankenship
USAF, O1 - O2, 1976-1979, Systems Engineer (= "responsible for miscellaneous stuff no one could put a name to"), 6514th Test Squadron (later 6545th Test Group), which was responsible for the testing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including all three versions of cruise missiles (air-launched AGM-86/ALCM, sea-launched "Tomahawk", and ground-launched GLCM) as well as some early versions of some of the stuff used in Iraq in 1991 and recently. Got out a bit early to go back to school and work on my doctorate after I determined that being in the USAF wasn't going to guarantee me a slot in the astronaut program, either . . .
3. Doug Pensinger
Sub sailor, USS Narwhal, SSN 671, Nuke fast attack, based in New London and in the yards in Charlston. E6 Sonar Tech, 1974 to 1980.
