Enjoying life now that I am retired. Gotta say though, I LOVED almost every day I served on Active Duty. Yes, even the ones where we were recalled at o-dark thirty, and had to sit in a Mobility line doing a bag-drag for hours and doing nothing else, only then to be told we were released to go home, or in some cases, to work. I miss it ALL!
I had the most FUN as a Weapons Loader, or Load Toad. But the most rewarding job was as a Command Post Controller. Recruiting? Forget it.

AGM-65 Maverick Missile Details
Aircraft/Missile Information
The Air Force accepted the first AGM-65A Maverick in August 1972. A total of 25,750 A and B Mavericks were purchased by the Air Force. Maverick A's have recently been phased out of the inventory. The Air Force is exploring the possibility of converting phased out A's and near obsolete B's and making an EO version to be named AGM-65H. The software in the H would be upgraded increasing its capability.
The Air Force took delivery of the first AGM-65D in October 1983, with initial operational capability in February 1986. Delivery of operational AGM-65G missiles took place in 1989.
More than 5,000 AGM-65 A/B/D/E/F/G's were employed during Operation Desert Storm, mainly attacking armored targets. Mavericks played a large part in the destruction of Iraq's significant military force.
