I enlisted in the USAF August 59, and was
trained as Morse Intercept officer and Air Traffic Control Specialist. From
1960 to 1961 I was assigned to TUSLOG DET-3 (Turkey), and then from 1962
assigned to Air Traffic Control at Williams AFB.
In 1963 I was transformed into an Officer
and a Gentleman in Officer Candidate School class 63D (the last class
of USAF OCS). After gaining my Commission, I was assigned to James Connelly
AFG for Navigation Officer training and then Mather AFB for EWO training
and then to Castle AFB for B-52 Training
Assignments included 26 Bomb Sq, Altus AFB, 56th Bomb Sq Minot AFB,
Anderson AFB (B-52 Ops & Trainer), and in 1973 to Shaw AFB for
B-66 Training. In 1973, I served at Korat RTAB as a B-66 Crewmember), and
as a B-66 Action Officer at 7th AF. I flew about 96 B-66 combat missions
in Southeast Asia. I also flew C-47, B-52-B,C,D,E,F,G,& H, British
VC-10, C-97, C-118.
In 1974 finally received my degree- BGS MIS -while on Bootstrap at
University of Omaha. I married my wife Kathy in February 1976.
I also served at Blytheville AFB (EWO Standboard), Goodfellow AFB (SIGINT
Officer school), and in 1979 assigned to USAF Security Service. In 1982,
I was appointed Chief Penetration Aids at Dyess AFB .
I retired from the USAF in March of 1982 at rank of Major, and began working
for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice in various capacities including:
building security, field security, Social Worker, Assistant Chief of Risk
Management & Parole. A parole office in Texas is like being a permanent
OCS upperclassman!
My wife Kathy and I currently live in a underground earth shelter home –
similar to the SAC alert Facility. We have had 4 sons - who have all
grown and have left the nest. My eldest son-Charles is an Economics College
Professor at the University of Florida. My second son Scott is a civil servant
Computer Project Officer at Randolph AFB, while my third son is Manager of
a fast food restaurant in Virginia. Our youngest son, Jared R. is a robotics
