Made me proud then (1965), and still makes me proud today. Still get goose bumps.

I was a baby ready to take on the world. I have a loft in my house; hanging in there is a picture of graduation from RTC Great Lakes and then I have a more recent picture of me in ACUs next to it. What time has done to that innocent kid.

Dec 2nd 2014 out of Syracuse, NY, I still remember it because it was less than a year ago. Best decision I have ever made was joining the Air Force.
