Jerry's Story
Jerry is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jerry is married. Jerry's schools include Huntington Park High School. Jerry later attended MIlwaukee Area Techinal College. Jerry works(ed) at Retired, MPS. I transfered from Arkansas to HPHS Nov.'62 some called me Arkie. Eighth grade I attended Edison Junior HI with Alfonso Navarro and Ernie Legeratta? both graduated from HP. Others I remember are Larry Morgan, Gregory Riggs and Nancy Imes. I planned to attend East LA Junior College and after UCLA. Being Selective Service 1A was a problem getting employment. I turned down a position at a funeral home for room and board while I attend school. Should of, could of, didn't. Joined USAF, stationed at Lincoln AFB, Nebraska, SAC, Civil Engineers as a Heating/Boiler Plant Specialist. After testing , AFOJT achievement awards, Navy correspondence courses the AF awards me one year of college and a journeyman rating. If I get one year of college credits at Univ.of Nebraska they...Expand for more
would help me get in the AF Academy. After 18 credits the program for enlisted men was discontinued. So I shoot for the B-52 Navigator program but that too was discontinued. After that I worked in the Atlas F intercontinental missile silos, maintenance, repair and security escorting as the missiles were phased out. Back to base engineers rewriting the OJT program and then training the missile men for deployments to base engineering. When the base started closing I volunteered for the Air Commando program. Because the washout rate was high I immediately started training. My application came back not approved because of being attached to missiles. While attending the Univ.of Nebraska and skiing in Capitol Water Ski Shows I met the base commander's daughter and we started dating. I decided to volunteer again for the commandos thinking if the commander caught us I would get approved, trained then shipped to Vietnam. WELL THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. TO BE CONTINUED.
