my how time flies
It has been 54 years since August 8th that I took my Oath Of Enlistment. After Basic I went from Lackland AFB on a direct flight to to Chanute AFB Rantool Ill. I took an couesr in Aircraft Electrician. This was a 4 month course that I finished in 2 months doing so well the the USAF “rewarded” me by assigning to to a Depot Level Maintenance Squadron (the 2951ST Combat Logistics Ssupport Squadron part of the Air Force Logistis Command) at McClelland AFB. I have been to Tialand and Tiawan the Philippines at Clark AFB,5 different CONUS Bases CONUS = Continental United States (the lower 48 states). I took a years early out because of an overage in my field AFLC 42350 and rank SGT E-4.
