My photo
Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands
After 35 years as an officer with the Tulsa Police Department, I retired & took a year contract job with the Kwajalein Police Dept. The wife, Scott stayed home to take care of the places and all the critters, while I headed off for my year in a tropical paradise. I am at 90% contract complete now and planning my return to the real world. I have had an amazing time and hope that you enjoy the Atoll, through my Blog. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about my time on the Rock.

Childhood Wish

Not on my bucket list but something I really wanted to do as a kid. The weather station here releases a balloon twice a day. Today, I got to launch one. As the balloon rises to about 100,000' in an hour and a half it expands, getting as large as the hanger before it burst and falls back to the ocean.
