Inertial Navigation and Bombing Systems Technician
I had found my real love job in this assignment. I was working on Inertial Navigation systems and ARN-101 Bombing integration systems on the F-4 Fighter jet. The work was exciting and long hours and many deployments. We had to go wherever the jets went, and there was no rest for the weary. I was so happy in this job, and my two supervisors from Vietnam were amazing. I had the most respect for them because they treated me just like anyone else.
