Reflections on Sgt Flaherty's
US Air Force Service
|
| |
|
PLEASE DESCRIBE WHO OR WHAT INFLUENCED YOUR DECISION TO JOIN THE AIR FORCE.
I joined with a buddy, he wanted to go to the Air Force Language School so we joined the USAF.
|
WHETHER YOU WERE IN THE SERVICE FOR SEVERAL YEARS OR AS A CAREER, PLEASE DESCRIBE THE DIRECTION OR PATH YOU TOOK. WHAT WAS YOUR REASON FOR LEAVING?
I liked the work I was doing, but I didn't like the "military cast" system. Enlisted personnel were treated as if they had no feeling and no rights. It was especially difficult on families, as wives seemed to think that a husbands rank gave them social status.
|
IF YOU PARTICIPATED IN ANY MILITARY OPERATIONS, INCLUDING COMBAT, HUMANITARIAN AND PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS, PLEASE DESCRIBE THOSE WHICH MADE A LASTING IMPACT ON YOU AND, IF LIFE-CHANGING, IN WHAT WAY?
Southeast Asia - being sent overseas for a year was an isolating and lonely experience.
