Life

First Overseas assignment to Alaska. Then to Washington, DC. Next assignment was a hardship to Palm Beach, Florida. While there got free trips to Kwajelein, Marshall Islands, Port Moresby, New Guine, the Pkhiliipines, Panama, El Salvador, Nicarauga, Houndoras, Colombia. Got married in 1961 and was reasigned to Georgia and from there made trips to Peru, Ethiopa, and Brazil. In 1965 was reassigned to Okinawa. The unit I was assigned to was commited in South East Asia so spent the bulk of my time away from wife and family in Thailand, Viet Nam and Korea. Came back to Massachuesetts from Okinawa and after 18 months there was sent back to SEA for 9 more months. From there I was reassigned to Beale AFB, Calif. Prime Assignment was the superintendent for mobile support of the recon system of the SR71. Got to travel to some more interesting and challenging places.

lifornia to March AFB in Southern California. Retired from the Air Force in 1977 and settled in Riverside, CA. Started my second career in Traffic Engineering and graduated from College in 1984. Jammed 4 years of college into 30 years of living. Retired fully in 1999 and have been enjoying life since then. Main Job: Spoiling Grand Kids. Secondary Job: Traveling in our fifth wheel trailer. Occaisonal Job: Traffic Engineering Consultant. First Great-grand daughter, Lindsey Grace Dickman, born July 4, 2011 in Kaneoe, HI. Logan Michael Dickman was born June 19, 2015 at Chesapeake, VA. Their dad is a Marine, their grandfather was Navy, their great grandfather was Air Force, and two of their great great grandfathers were Navy. For those of you who are grandparents, great grandchildren are even more fun. Watching your children doing all the "dumb" things they accused you of doing is priceless. Got to hold our great grand daughter again this Christmas (2013). Not bad for someone who, several times in a military career, did not think he would see his children as adults.
