Last week of Jun - first week of August. New dorms. Blue flag halted outdoor activity 9 days out of 10. Made me madder than heck. My feelings were if you couldn't take that heat, go be an accountant. I liked the Air Force overall but I ended up in SAC. Communications tech AFSC 30554 worked on the Launch the Nukes Message Delivery System. 10 months at Keesler then, McConnell AFB Kansas Top Secret with Crypto access. BORING. Should have gone in the Army.

Airman, Give me a 341! Just kidding. Good work and kudos to you. I thought it was a 241...guess that lets you know I got one pulled on me.(D'OH!)
Congratulations and Godspeed to this brave soldier, and to all who fight for our right to live, and to post, as free people.

I went into Engines (43250)through Delayed Enlistment, CG.
C-130s Flightline at Little Rock for 3 1/2 years. Reserve at Andrews AFB with 130s. Got C-141s in 1981.
Transferred to Generation (Crew Chief/Support) Did many TDYs all over. Most of the 141s went to the Sandbox during Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Enduring Freedom. Most of the Unit stayed stateside and were the Last Stop Gas & Go before crossing the pond. While others went to the Med.
We have KC-135s now and expect to get busy towards the end of the year.
Jack.

McConnell was KC135s and Titan II missile sites. Went a lot of places on KC135s. Most of my time was spent on PMs and repairs at Missile sites.

I made the mistake of saying I don't know sir, instead of the private doesn't know sir. The DI stuck his thumbs in my eyes and said that these are your effin eyes scumbag! I was definitely in trouble! Bends and Mutha effers! Ready! Exercise!

I went into the USAF after two years on a rifle team in the ANG; I believe I still hold the 100-200 yd record for our region, but boy, was I ever disappointed to see what qualifying meant in the Air Force.
We had an abbrieviated range, almost like shooting at my outhouse at home and when I went down for standing to prone rapid fire and the spotter put up a "descending balloon" pattern, I screamed bloody murder.
I looked down at my carbine's rear sight and saw that it had racheted with each shot squeezed off.
The range officer told me I still qualified with a low-expert but I begged him to hand me a different weapon, any one of those on range, give me four rounds to sight it in and I would tear the center out.
He thought about it awhile and decided to humor the "hillbilly" and grabbed a piece from the guy to my left.
I did as I said and when finished I asked for the cleaning supplies.
He just looked at me kind of funny and said, "We clean the weapons here, we don't want anyone messing them up."
