The guy was given his choice of any air base he wanted—he chose an air rescue slot in Florida and enjoyed that service.
His C.O. approached him with the idea of taking pilot training and he accepted and passed the exams. He began dating a young woman while in flight school and got married and his Lieutenant's commission that same day. He flew refueling tankers and did a stint at Beal AFB, home of the SR-71. His final assignment was in the IG's office. He and a crew would make unannounced inspections of air bases. "We all had to live by the same rules," he said.
