Military Experiences
Nothing special. Worked on Avionics and Cockpit Instruments and their systems on B52s and KC135s.
Spent two and a half years at Castle AFB, CA and a year at UTapao, Thailand.
Got out in 1974. I must have done something right, because I was personally recruited to re-enlist by the Sr.MSgt. of my Squadron. He promised me any Stateside Base assignment I wanted if I would just re-up for another four years.
I had other responsibilities back home I needed to get back to, so I declined. Sixteen years later (when I would have had twenty good years in) I had a momentary twinge of something almost like regret for not doing it.
By then, tho', I had a wonderful wife, several great kids, and a good life.
Then Agent Orange caught up with me.
Damn!
