I live about 150 miles from my birthplace right now but that isn't the whole story. I have lived in 10 different cities and 2 different countries by the time I graduated high school. Then I joined the Navy.
About 1100 miles from where I was born/call home/where my Mom & siblings live Norfolk, Va. I joined USN on my 18th birthday, but also a "Navy Brat" as well for the prvious 18 years we were stationed in Cuba/Gitmo-Puerto Rico-Ca(does that count as a foreign country or city)- DC-Va (3x)-Pa,
I used to tell folks I was born on fantail of a 2250 "tin-can", not far from it, Portsmouth Naval Hospital, learned to read from Dad's rate training manuals, earliest one I recall was DC 3 & 2, could tell "military time", before civilian time, got out of USN then really stayed far from home.
In last 28 years have flown 1.8 million miles, sailed probably at least half a million on various ships, worked in approx 60 different countries, one job outing I left Ms. went to Australia, from there to Spain, then to Germany then back to Ms, in 7 weeks from time I 1st got on plane I circumnavigated the globe. I lived in Italy for a year, worked in about 500 or so different towns in my short time here on Earth, Kasakstan (sp???) may be my next overseas opportunity.
