It was a dream assignment for him. We think his first Sgt. at Hickam pulled some strings to get him in as a Mission Co-ordinator on the ARIA, but he never would own up to it. You know, senior enlisted wield a lot of power if they favor you.
I pretty much had to stay home and keep the the kids alive, but he sure had some stories to tell when he got home.
The ARIA aircraft were moved to Wright-Pat in Ohio right after we left for his assignment at the Pentagon in 1975.
Do you know what his AFSC classification was?
