[QUOTE="John6185, post: 4002924, member: 25679"] Do any of you remember your training instructors? SSgt Dubee was mine an I can still hear him scream "get out here" at 0500 in the morning. We were going to breakfast as soon a s the Chow Runner came back and reported. I joined at age 17 and said I was goin to let Uncle Same take care of me and darn if he didn't! 24 years later I retired and went to work at the VA, retired form there and here I am. A guy in maintenance who served two years in the Army at the VA said I didn't need Social sEcurity because I was retired from the AF and my reply was "you had the same choice." He shut up an dnever brought the subject up again. I still remember some of the youth from Erick, Dallas, Weatherford etc that went through basic with me. Sitting on footlockers shining shoes and boots and talking and laughing was a great time in my life. Tis was right after the Cuban Crisis and many military were involuntarily extended past their date of separation and sort of angry. It was common to see an E-4 (A1C) retire at 20 years because promotions were scarce. The majority of stripes were granted at the NCO clubs at the bar rubbing elbows. [/QUOTE]
