Klatt Among Show Performers FROM PAGE 31 the Guard at the Ocean City Air Show and tell the folks of the local area about all the great benefits the Guard has to offer … we enjoy being here and giving folks a ride and sharing the gift of flight with the people,” Klatt said. The National Guard Mobile Experience will be located on the grounds of the OC Air Show this weekend and is a free experience that provides people an opportunity to participate in simulated challenges that replicate the real life experiences of Air Guard men and women during basic military training, technical school and on drill weekend. “There are some fun challenges,” Klatt said of the Mobile Experience. “It really is going to be a fun weekend and I am really excited to tell the folks about what the Guard is all about.” The Air National Guard is a reserve component of the United States Air Force. Air National Guard members receive comprehensive training in some of the most technologically advanced skills the military has to offer. In fact, the Air National Guard offers training in nearly 200 career fields; ranging from communications and engineering, to technology and healthcare. This high-quality training attracts many Air Guardsmen who want to learn and excel in the high-tech careers of the 21st century. There are more than 140 Air National Guard bases in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Many Air Guardsmen live in their hometowns and serve at the nearest air base. “What is different than active duty in the Navy, Air Force and Marines, which are all great services, but the unique thing about the Guard is that you can serve from your own hometown and have a career while flying the highest most technical airplanes,” Klatt said. Klatt lives in Minnesota with his wife, Deborah, and two children, Leah, 14, and Daniel, 12. While at home, he works at the Joint Force Headquarters building. “I have a family that is supportive of me because it is a lot of days out on the road,” he said. “My wife is a super trooper with the kids and raising a family. We have a pretty good team effort.” Klatt is proud to be part of the Air National Guard and is having a hard time thinking of having to leave the service one day. “It is an amazing deal, the Guard is, and it is a huge part of the total force now days,” he said. “We are deployed all around the world and all around the nation taking care of domestic operations when bad things happen or when hurricanes or tornadoes happen, things of that nature … I really enjoy flying air shows. Airplanes are my passion, so it is fun to be able to do this kind of thing, and I am really blessed to share the gifts I have been given with the folks that come out. It is a life experience.” Classic Christmas Markets featuring markets in Strasbourg, Wurzburg, Nuremberg, Munich and Innsbruck 9 DAYS - 11 MEALS • STARTING AT $1,549* Tropical Costa Rica 9 DAYS - 14 MEALS • STARTING AT $1,299* From the Outback to the Glaciers 21 DAYS - 28 MEALS • STARTING AT $4,499* 9923 Stephen Decatur Hwy #4, Teal Marsh Shopping Center 800-826-4228 • 410-213-9330 • www.travelwithoasis.com $10 OFF OFFICE VISIT (Excludes Insurance And Weight Control) Open ‘Til Midnight 7 Days A Week 75TH ST.
