Forty-three years ago at this time, I was on my way to Basic Training at Lackland. Today’s Air Force is not the Air Force I was a member of for seventeen years. I still get the AFA magazine monthly, and the only things the same are some base names, and even those are going away into history.

I went through Officer Training School (OTS) during the summer south Texas heat of 1963. Wonderful experience...in retrospect. Zero DIE crap. Spent next 20 years between active and reserve duty. Some “indoctrination” started up in the later years of my career (late 70’s-early 80’s), mostly of the the racial and feminist variety. Hour long monthly group meetings usually run by chaplains as I recall. Never o btrusive or doctrinaire and just another task to kill time. Had fancy titles like “dynamics of moral leadership”, etc. Apparently from this inauspicious beginning the process has morphed into the disgusting, un-American brain washing that is known as DIE today. The one hope is that Americans of the type willing to serve still treat it as the bull shit that it is.

60 years ago for me and now I’m advising my grand children against it.
