Dwayne's Story
At Graduation I was given a toy car that I might travel far. I joined the USAF on 7-7-65, at age 17 with that goal.
I attended our 20th reunion in 85, having just retired after 20 years at 37. I wish to thank the US taxpayers for the retirement checks I've been receiving for 30 years. Ha! Ha! The following is places I've lived or visited during that time. Leave it to Maine. In 1968 Maine was going to charge me for not registering for the draft. DUH

Retired from USAF in San Antonio. Married to a Korean for 10 yr. Worked for Zee Medical Service for 5 yrs. Met Nancy, my present and final wife in 1988. She was in the Air Force and a few months later she received orders to Comiso, AFB, Sicily, Italy. I sold everything except my clothes and hitched free rides on Air Force jets to Sicily. We were married there, but we can't read our Marriage Certificate since its all in Italian. Ha! Ha! We returned 9 Mos. later and we were assigned to Little Rock AFB, Jacksonville, AR. She retired from the Air Force in 1993.and in 1995 we moved to Johnson City, TN. I managed a 985 unit self storage facility for 8 Yrs. I totally retired with my fishing pole in 2010. My wife will retire next year.
I joined the Air Force to travel. As soon as I returned to the States, I immediately requested overseas assignments so I could go somewhere I hadn't been. I also traveled when I was in Libya. Visited Tunis and Tobarka, Tunisia and Roman cities such as Leptus Magna and Sabbratha. I also worked as a Guide on Sundays. I took 60 people, mostly new comers, on a Tour of Tripoli so they would know where it was safe to go shop, sightsee or visit.
