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.

This describes Monday August 1st and 3rd. Friday the First as I was getting ready to stand up from my shower seat I slipped off of it and into the bathtub and need help getting up.so I used the Waterproof bathtub button.
Sunday the Third I woke up to not feelin good checked my Blood Pressure it was high so I called my backup health provider WellBe Senior Medical that I get through Med Mutual.the oncall nurse said that he wanted to have their Medic come and do a heart scan,the medic called and said I’ll be there in an hour I told her that I activated my Life Alert button that I wear on my neck,because I was feeling dizzy and nauseated and felt like I was going to pass out.she asked do you need EMS I said yes and that life alert had contacted Cleveland EMS. that’s when she (The Medic said she would let the take of me) when EMS is called the Cleveland Fire Dept also responds. Life Alert said they were on the way. and than I passed out I don’t know how long I was out the Paramedic said I was trying to wake you for 20 seconds. the hooked up a monitor did not like what they saw and said you are going. and when I got there the did their own EKG and said I was staying overnight for obervation.
Monday rolls around the Echocardigram that was ordered was done. the Cardiologist that I saw said that they are increasing my Metoprolol from 100 MG to 150 MG and I have to wear a heart monitor for a month. My high school pal Jim was kind enough to come pick me up and drive me home.I got home around 4:00 PM we sat and visited for about a half an hour than he went home,and than I fixed my dinner. I was so tired by 6 Pm that I just took my nightime meds and went to bed,I slept 13 hours without getting up to the bathroom. when I did wake up that was the second thing I had to do,First one was Thank God for the good sleep I got and for waking up up today.
I start my day and end my day by saying Thank You God for waking me up in the morning and for the day that I had.

Today I’m in one of those moods when remembering my past is a good thing,Long ago on August 8,1971 I took my oath of enlistment. and went to Lacklan AFB for basic training. I was thinking of all the USAF Bases I have been to via TDY’s (Tempory Duty Assignments) most have been shut down by the USAF (Pease AFB Chanute AFB Castle AFB) and or The Host countries that I have been in like The Philippines (Clark Air Base), Like Tiawan (CCK Air Base) and Thailand (2 bases Udorn and Utapao air bases) there are patches for them and of course the one base that is still open Lackland AFB.and there was another Airforce base in the Sacramento area Mather AFB and McClellan AFB (the base where I was assigned to the 2951st Combat level support squadron) and one other base in the Sacramento are that was an Army depot base. I took a years Early Out because there was an overage in my field and rank (Aircraft Electrician and SGT E-4) I was on a controlled tour of duty (4 Years) so I could not cross train and stay in the USAF so on August 08,1974 3 years to the day of my enlistment I processed out of the USAF. I am very Proud of my time in the USAF,because I was able to Honor my Dad’s service to our country in the Army Air Force when He enlisted in 1946 and the USAF when he got out in 1949.

This week I thought I’d feature a different Cleveland Landmark I give you the Cleveland Art Museum.
The Cleveland Art Museum gets some of the power it uses from the solar panels on the roof.
A closer look at the art museum entrance
The Thinker statue at the Museum
and finally a bird’s eye view via Drome.
