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.
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.
