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.Â
Was with Conn. ANG for 12 months working on F-100s. Only did weekend drills and never involved in 2 week active duty before transferring out. So actual experiance on this aircraft is limited.
