    Started out 1956 on C-124's at Dover AFB and Harmon AFB Newfoundland. Got out of AF June 1960.
    Was recalled 1961 with Indiana ANG and went to Chambley France.
    1963 called back and was stationed at Sewert AFB TN 4442 OMS as crew chief. 1964 assigned to 4447CCTS as a scanner.
    Had a major chest operation and was grounded. After 99 days at Scott AFB in hospital returned to Sewert and assigned to 61TAS. Because of profile I was assigned to 780 equipment. Deployed to England with Rote squadron for 94 days.
    Departed for Naha Nov 1967 and started out as a crew chief with the 21 TAS. Was top crew chief several months which attracted the attention of 21st E Flight commander who invited me to join them. I ended up as NCOIC of E Flight and left in May 1971 when Naha was closed and the mission transfered to CCK.
    I was assigned to the 61st at Little Rock and had a choice assignment. My self and a grounded pilot were the run up crew for all the C-130's coming out of phase inspections.
    Just stayed at Little Rock for 6 months.
    I volunteered for AF Recruiting . Was a recruiter at New Albany, IN for just about a year. Was at the Louisville,KY AFFES . Finished my college with a BA & MA degree. Was Training Supt at Robins AFB and retired as the Flight Supervisor at Macon, GA
