I went to school all through my Air Force career. 1) University of the Air Force 2) University of Athens Greece 3) Miami Dade 4) Barry University-Miami.
I achieved the highest level possible to be technically trained (9-level) while in the Air Force and that was equal to 6 years of technical (Aerospace Technology). I started my secondary education in Marine Biology and ended it in Business. I have a strong background in "hard" sciences.
Military
I was assigned to Homestead in December of 1967 and only left once (77 to 78 to Turkey) until I retired from Homestead in 1985. I worked on the Flight line when I was first assigned moved from there to the 31 TFW Egress Shop for about two years, then to the 31 TFW Engine shop, then to Planning and Scheduling for the wing, then to the 309 TFS. I was promoted to Master Sgt. in 82 and retired in 1985. I made many friends which I wish I had stayed in touch with and if anyone remembers me, please write! There are a couple of dear friends that if anyone know their where abouts, I would consider it a favor to let me know, MSG Melven Marango & MSG Ron Jones.
