Air Force, 1960 -1968, Staff Sargent E-5. Electronics technician supporting airborne radar... navigation, bomb nav and terrain avoidance...on B52 aircraft. Guam '65-68. Flight status. The only time it was scary up there was when some of the old WWII dogs started flying the bombers... it stopped real quick when a couple of B-52s collided. Went to college under the GI bill when I got out .. it's funny but I wasn't the recipient of any animosity because of my Vietnam era service.. on or off campus.
 

USAF .. 1968 - 1974 ... Des Moines Iowa .. was lucky enough to stay in the states .. some my buds went to nan...
