OMG, you are so right on with your Lackland story!

I would never trade that time or the feeling you have, in Basic.

Like suddenly, you are not in Control! The TI is! I was in the 1000 Man Dorm next to the F-84 display. Was it 3744 BMTS? Dec 74 to Feb 75, 6 weeks.

We had a substitute TI for the underwear stamping, and I can't remember if anybody messed up. But the ritual Dog Tag chain assembly the first night was messed up by somebody.

The TI grabbed this guys dog tag chain, and pulled his face within inches of his mouth and said "Are you a DUMB A##?" The guy was shaking like a leaf, LOL!

My biggest mistake was getting out. I made Staff in 3.5 years.

But back then I knew everything! LOL!

3723 BMTS was down the street from the Thunderbird Theater and directly across the street from the AAFES store/snack bar.

Yeah, I can relate to your feelings. There were several times after I got out that I regretted not re-upping. Things were good in the USAF and I was treated well. I was a Weather Observer in the Air Weather Service and it was a great job!
