Nope, never got to go on an OT shot. Was scheduled to go on one but PCS’d. I watched several while at VAFB. I was a crewmember at Minot and in later years was an airborne keyturner on the old SAC Looking Glass. Involved in various aspects of nuclear ops for my whole AF career. Started out as an enlisted Marine.
You were not in combat that is for certain. REMF’s always glamorize the wrong ones. That combat Infantryman and Marine rifleman is the heart and soul of the military, and; it is HE who does the dirty work.
