Best Friends The happiest years of my service were at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton.
Best Moment When I was promoted to Sergeant
Worst Moment Seeing my infant daughter in ICU after being born. Everything turned out ok of course but at the time. Oh man!
Chain of Command Sr. Master Sergeant Richard Perryman was my supervisor. Wish I could connect with him assuming he is still alive. Dont' remember the names of the officers I worked with at the Aim 9 Side Winder programing office. Or the Lt. Col I reported to during the C-17 Source Selection program. Or the two star general I personally delivered classified messages to in Area B of ASD.
Other Memories Haircuts were $2.65. Pipe tobacco was cheap. Seeing a movie at the base theater at Wright Patterson in the early 1980's was only $1.00.
I remember delivering classified material to a building in Area C I think. Some kind of electronics communications building. My close friend and I both went there. While we were there we walked down stairs to go out of the building on the other side to our car to leave. We walked past a dark hallway with only one entrance guarded by an SP holding an M16 assault rifle. There were no lights except for a few along the midway point of the walls.
