Did you serve in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War?


Not really.  I have my Desert Storm / Desert Shield campaign ribbons and lived in the infamous Khobar Towers (near Dhahran) right after the major hostilities ceased though.  We thought about reentering Iraq for a short while and I was a member of the strike planning team from the USS Abe Lincoln carrier battle group there to develop the plan with the USAF folks.  It was canceled in short order though and I went back to the ship.

I was shipboard during the actual invasion that you'll remember wasn't very long.

The reason I asked was I had a Cobra squadron billeted in my workshop.  I think their Colonel was called Hill.     The pilots slept in my office for a while.
