I served 3 years active duty USAF followed by 1 year with Conn. ANG and 3 years with NH ANG. Active duty stations after basic and tech scool at Sheppard included Yokota and Kadena Japan with TDYs to Osan and Kunsan Finished my active duty at Webb AFB Texas. While in the NH ANG I attended the Voc-Tec College in Laconia NH graduating in 1975. After Graduation I went to work for an automotive oil seal company where I have been for 39 years, first 20 tears as a maintenance electrician and past 19 as Test Lab Tech. Also been married to my wife Tina for 39 years. both have worked out good. Two children James and Heather. Now have 2 grandsons, Logan James Baker and James Otto Spicer, both born in 2010. I really regret not having taken more pictures of the places and surrounding areas I was stationed at.
Other Memories Made several TDY's to Osan from Yokota. At Osan worked flight line 12 hour shifts or assigned to alert pad. When on alert pad you stay 24 hrs six days then had 1 24hrs period off. Alert pad chow hall had the best meals due to it's small size. We also had 2 mean rooms instead of open bay barracks for flight line duty. Osan was very hot in the summer and extremely cold and windy during winter. Pretty tough working with several layers on and fingers that just would not work with gloves. Never tried eating it but the smell of Kimchi would make me a little nauseous. Had a curfew where you had to be on base or off the town streets between midnight and 6 AM. We were also required to turn in all U.S. currency when arriveing and use MPC.
