In America it was still an innocent time,1965; but I was going through personal turmoil as a freshman in college and struggling with my Fathers alcoholism; to escape I joined the United States Air Force. Spent four and a half years got out and returned to my native Oklahoma to ranch and farm in a family business and rejoined the Air Force again and made it a career finally attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. I experienced some very joyful times while in the military and some personal lows as well (a murder), but I had a very informative and rewarding career overall and met many men and women I still consider a friend. It is my hope that you will enjoy the reading and can relate to the time and era.
