 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

I'm retired now. I entered the Air Force as a minor, I was 15 years old. I completed basic training at Lackland Air Base, went to a cooking school at Fort Lewis Washington. Doing this time period the Army, Marines and the Air Force attended training schools together. 
On my completion of training I was temporaryly assigned to Pier 91, a Marine and Naval Depot near Seattle Washington for a couple months, I then proceeded to the 500th Air Bace Sq. near a small town called Coraopolis, Pa, also near Pittsburgh,Pa. 

Subsequently I  was transfered to the Air Police Squadron. My last year in the Air Force, I was assigned to duties over seas, Wheelus Field Air Force Base, 7272nd Air Police Sq.,Tripoli, Llbya. While in Ttipoli I worked closely with the Arabs,I learn to speak their language and understand their custons. On my completion of assignment in Tripoli, I returned to the good old U.S.A., Manhattan Beach New York and received my honorable Discharge. I still can speak a little Arabic.

1965-1972, I worked for Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach, Ca. Subsequently Douglas merged with McDonnel Aircraft, becoming McDonnel Douglas Aircraft. My position there was Foreman, I worked on the DC 61, DC 9  and I helped development of the DC 10 model. The good thing was,I was able to attend College while I was at McDonnel Douglas AC, the times were good in the late 60's, but everything comes to an end. This was also near  the end of the VietNam War.
