Robert's Story

Life Why would you want to view my biography? Do I know you? Otherwise, it's available upon reponding to these questions. Military Though uncertain about a career, I didn’t have to worry about being drafted into the military until another three years; I was seventeen. Jobs were scarce, and there were not enough funds for me to go to college. I asked my parents to give their permission for me to enlist in the United States Air Force—they did! After six grueling weeks of basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, and another four weeks at the Air Police Academy, I was ready for the thirty days leave back to West-Philly, as an Airman Third Class (one-strip) in the Air Force.

ters, missles, town patrol, main gate duty, armory duty, and every other type of police/law enforcement related duty. After 12-years of Police work, I decided that I did not want to do this type of work when I retired from the military. I re-trained into another line of work. My job was to counsel survivors/familes of deceased military personnel. My assignments included the following locations: Korea (studied the martial arts), the Phillippines, Guam, Japan, Okinawa, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, and Sicily. While most of my time in the Air Force was overseas, I also was stationed at the following domestic locations: Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls Montana, Griffis Air Force Base in Rome New York, Hurlburt Field Air Base in Fort Walton Beach Florida, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson Arizona, and Mather Air Force Base in Sacramento California. My last base was Hickam Air Base Hawaii (a really tough assignment).
