He'll return to the US this August, though.

Damn, RAF Mildenhall's still in operation? That's where i landed when i was in the Air Force. I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge in the early 80's, when Grenada and KAL 007 happened and terrorism was on the rise. We always had training alerts where we had to wear our CBW gear for 12 hours at a time, and since I was in Nuclear Ordnance, well you can imagine. Personally i'm glad we never had to use it.
My tiome in the AF was awesome, I loved it, but i look back on it now and i think i would have chosen a different path had i knwon then what i know now.
