Just wanted to make a shameless plug. The 25th ch. of my Alpha & Omega fic is up at gatchfanfic http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=863&textsize=0&chapter=25 Make all the comments, critics, and suggestions you like. If you have any ideas about where this story is going, feel free to speculate wildly. And if you think you have an idea I can use, go ahead and submit. The muse is on a coffee break again.

I'm currently behind on my reading, but I do want to read this -soon, hopefully! I"m chuckling at your sig line, Candi. My brother (who's in the military) lists his occupation on facebook as "Manager of Applied Violence".

LB, what branch is your brother in? He may have crossed paths with mine at sometime. Mine is in Air Force, Intelligence Division.

I'll plug Candi's Alpha and Omega story. It's an interesting look at the post-Gatch-F universe...

Thanks, TJ!

Just calling it like I see it...

My brother's air force too -but in the Canadian Air Force. Still, he's done training exercises and courses in the U.S., and a lot of what the Canadian military does abroad is coordinated with the U.S. and other countries -so it's always possible!

My brother has been at a lot of the training bases. He works directly with the pilots administering intel and briefings, so depeding on what your brother does it is quiet likely. Mine's most likely a lifer. He was thinking about retiring with his next enlistment, but with our current economy, it may not happen.

My brother's main involvement is with the Canadian forces in Kandahar, Afghanistan (where a lot of American and British troops are too). He spent 10 months over there, a year ago, doing mostly logistics/coordinating/planning stuff but he's currently being recertified to fly helicopters (something he hasn't done in the last 5 years), then he'll be attached to a helicopter squadron currently based in Edmonton, Alberta, and be deployed with it to Afghanistan, next year. No real talk of retiring yet, though he's been in since 1983, but he's considering doing some kind of Masters degree, through the military (as they pay the tuition), with an eye towards something useful in the civilian world as well.

There aren't many post Gatch F fics (for that matter, there aren't so many Gatch F fics), but as there's no canon for what happens, it's surely a good field for creative ideas.

Sounds like they definitely could have run into each other at some time. Mine was in Afghanistan about 3 years ago, then he went to England, right now he's stationed out of Travis but is currently doing a tdy in Turkey. Well, I guess he just finished, he's due home sometime today.
