Patrick's Story
Life
Greetings, kids! Thought I'd visit this site and see who I could link up with from times gone by. Nice to see some familiar names on the various lists; hope you're all well and life is treating you good. Drop me a line and we'll compare notes.
Military
When my grandkids ask what I did in the war, I'll be able to say...what war? I was in California the whole time! I joined the US Air Force in February, 1987, and reported for basic training in July of that year. Having survived boot camp, I reported to Keesler AFB, Mississippi, in September 1987 and stayed there in Tech School until the end of January, 1988. I had orders for Kunsan AB, Korea, but got diverted to George AFB, California, ...Expand for more
a scant 3 days before I was due to ship out. No one at George knew I was coming but everything worked out for the best. I was assigned to the 2067 Communications Squadron (later the 35th Communications Squadron) and served my entire tour in the High Desert of Victorville, just up the highway from Los Angeles. I was discharged (honorably) in July, 1991, and headed home to Texas. I made some great friends--Glenn Harris, Dale Garcia, Susan Swenson, Mark Williams, Allen Sjogren, Irene Valdez, Suzanne Gleason, Juanita Hagberg, Lonnie Stukes, and Marlene Crocker, among others--and wish most every day that life has treated them well. I've fallen out of touch with most, but they're not out of my life!
