Kim Murray:  

After graduation, I went to work at the old rope factory full time, while still working part time at Mercy Hospital. In Sept of 74, I joined the U.S. Air Force. I went to Basic Training in San Antonio, Tx. until Nov. 74, at which time I transfered to Witchita Falls, Tx. for Aircraft Maintenence Technical School. I then was transfered to my first permanent assignment at Del Rio, Tx. I joined the military to travel and see the world and for the first three and a half years all I saw was Texas and a little bit of Mexico, mostly Ciadad Acuna. Jan. 78 I was again transferred, this time to Northern California, Beale AFB, the Air Forces home of the Spy Planes, the SR-71 and the U-2,(the aircraft, not the band). I gave up the fun times with the military for a short time and returned to good old Auburn. I went to work at Austeel for a few months, then was laid off.I rejoined the military and they rewarded me by stationing me at good old Plattsburgh AFB NY. I remained there for 3 years at which time I was transferred to a nice little island in the Mediteranian called Sardinia, Italy. I visited several wonderful places from there to include Rome and Germany. It was a short assignment of only a year, but I would trade several of my other fond experiences to have been able to remain on that little island for the rest of my military career. Oh, I forgot to mention, while stationed there, We had our first encounter with Libyia. And I also got married....Expand for more
