My home of record is Dyersburg, Tenn. I enter the Air Force in 1972 with basic training at Lackland AFB, Tx. Went to jet engine school at Chanute AFB and on to Travis AFB in early 1973 for duty working C5A & 141A transports during Vietnam Era. Re-enlisted in 1976 for 2nd tour and relocated to the 388th FW at Hill AFB in April. I also met & worked with Pete(Packfan)amongst other off duty activities. I finished a 38yr career with combined military & DOD civilian in 2011.
I have a brother who's retired AF went to Vietnam in 1969. Three other siblings were also active Air Force during my time 2 of which were also at end of Vietnam era.
My dad US Navy retired in 1961 flew on PBY's & PBM's was at the Battle of Midway and also served during Korean War.
My mother is a gold star family member as she lost her brother in WWII KIA on the USS Langley CV1, his body never recovered.
My wife's father was a transport pilot in the Army Air Force during WWII & the newer USAF during Korean War. Her uncle(fathers brother) was an F4 fighter pilot in Vietnam.
Wife's mothers brother was a B24 bomber pilot in WWII with 57 missions over North Africa.
Wife's brother was drafted in the Army and sent to Vietnam in 1968 as a sniper.
