Other Memories
When I returned from Korea to Keesler, I was assigned as instructor, but lobbied heavily for maintenance work. I was assigned to the maintenance shop for the school. This shop was responsible for maintainig all the training equipment used by the students. As we used to say, "They break 'em in the day; we fix 'em in the night." I was assigned (SSgt) as night crew chief for auto-track equipment. We worked from midnight to 6 an, 6 days a week. Exempt from all squadron duties and parades. I was married and lived off-base, so went to work just like civilian job. Did this for almost 2 years before I was transferred to Patrick AFB. FL
