My uncle said to go for the longest school with the biggest job title so I was a crypto tech.
84-90
1 year at Lackland basic and Tech School (this is why I'm not too crazy about TX)
5 years 1956 ISG at Yokota AB Japan. This was a great assignment, saw Korea, Guam, Okinawa and who can forget the PI.

USAF 1967-1971 ECM (electronic countermeasures) tech Keesler AFB MS (school) -- Ellsworth AFB Rapid City SD (B-52's) Volunteered for something different and the chance to fly as a crew member --then more school -Goodfellow AFB TX -- then off to Kadena Okinawa as a crew member flying over The Gulf of Tonkin -(off of North Vietnam) and over northern Laos -- in RC-135's's as a Airborne maint. Tech (on the black boxes/reconnisence SP? gear) I loved the duty -- but boss (wife) wanted out of the Air Force -- been in electronics/computer stuff ever since. God that was a long time ago!!!!
Funny thing is, they are still actively using the same exact 6 RC-135's I flew on out of Okinawa. If we could make our trucks last that long. I thought they were old planes back then!!!

Tiger scouts when I was 5
Cub scouts when I turned 6
Boy scouts from age 7-8
I don't mean to offend anyone who served...I have lots of respect for you guys. I tried joining the army but my mom wouldn't let me no matter what, when they would call my house she would tell them I'm at ballet practice..so they eventualy stopped calling.
