Air Force! I thought it was a Marine Corps serial number!

If it had been, you'd likely have joined during WWII..

Sadly, both of my uncles and my father served in the Army Air Forces in WWII and they developed a rather loftily superior attitude when dealing with me - one of uncles said that "anybody who's dumb enough to join the Marines during a war is an idiot".

It was quite a while until he and I spoke again.
