End of 85 to mid-87. A great place to be from, knowwhatImean? I volunteered for Panama to make sure I wouldn’t be stuck in Clovis my whole first tour. At just the time Noriega was making a PITA of himself in Panama. Timing is everything!

>>IMO, the French owe a lot to the USA. But they also owe a lot to Britain, the Soviet Union, Colonial Africa, and, believe it or not, India (over 2.5 MILLION Indian troops served in Europe during WWI, and also during WWII). <<

Had the Axis won German and Japanese would have been the primary languages spoken.

Interestingly, the USA would be where we are now: an antisemitic plebiscite subordinate to the rest of the world.

How ironic: the greatest fighting force in the history of Mankind and 51% of us destroy the USA from within. That firmly-planted 5th column finally bore fruit.

I was an air traffic controller and I will say one thing for Cannon at that time, the flying was very, very busy! That’s about the only thing I can say good about Cannon. Cashed in just about every favor I had and left Cannon to go to Berlin.
