I’ve never fought in a war, and I’ve been and am going to be stationed right here at Maxwell-Gunter AFB for the rest of forever. But that’s okay, because I’m very proud to be an Airman.

Ended up as a US Army Spec.4. MOS was 98G2LKP. Had a security clearance and everything. Anyone else been to Camp Humphries in South Korea? I was there 13 months, 1976-77. REALLY makes you appreciate the United States! When the plane lifted off from Kimpo we broke into a spontaneous cheer.

Best things I ever said or believed:
“Rank is simply a badge of servitude to one’s men”
“Lead from the front!”
“What are your thoughts, sergeant?”
“Sergeant/lieutenant/captain, how can I support you and your mission?”
Best thing I ever DID?
pull on my boots and go to the field with those men in the first place. I’m so proud of our soldiers/airmen/marines/sailors!
P.S. I made the Captain’s list. God help us!
