David's Story
Military
Entered USAF July '66 Basic at Amarillo AFB TX,Tech School (A/C Pneudraulics Sys) Sep '66 at Chanute AFB IL then to the best kept secret of the Air Force... Mactan AB, Philippines (white sandy beaches,beautiful lagoons, palm trees) in Jan '67 to Feb '68 went on leave to Japan and Taiwan, then to Travis AFB CA Mar '68, was sent TDY to Rhien-Main AB Germany for 120 days Jul '69 til Oct '69 got orders to McCloud (That's what it IS!) while there, upon return to Travis, I had to process out and BE at McChord AFB, WA in 5 Days. My first clue as to how wet it gets there was the fact that our Squadron hats were made of Naugahide! Needless to say I immediately went to Base Personell Office and Volunteered for SEA. (Get Me outta this Place) The best thing that happen...Expand for more
