I am currently retired completely. After the military I worked for the US Post Office in Bentonville Arkansas. I also retired from the Post Office. Can't do much because I have Parkinson's Disease. But I still enjoy the grandkids. Loved everyday of my Air Force life. God has truly blessed me after all these years.
Worst Moment The worst thing I can remember about this assignment was I had everything on my TDY orders that I was being sent to Guam except for an unusual number. When I got to Guam and started to process in they said I was suppose to go to U-tapio Thailand. Well when I got to Thailand and almost got processed into U-tapio they stopped me and said I was suppose to be at Takhli AB Thailand. Took me eight days to get to my TDY base. My family had no idea where I was.
Other Memories Actually my permanent Base was Blytheville Arkansas and I was sent TDY to Takhli AB Thailand and assigned to the 11th Air Refueling Squadron outof Altus AFB Oklahoma.
If anyone knew anything about Thailand during the Vietnam War was that to get an R & R they came to Thailand. At that time Thailand the place every single airman wanted to go.
