That's me in 1961 at the Air Force Radar Specialist School in Illinois. Then I was assigned to a B-52 Bomber SAC base in Northern Maine.
In 1963 I was re-assigned to the Tech School in Illinois to teach Radar Electronics. Returned to civilian life in August 1964.
It was a great 4-year experience that I was proud to be part of. Especially, during the Fall of 1962 when the Cuban Missile crisis occurred.
It was an amazing sight to see all the B-52 Bombers and F-102 Fighter planes from our SAC base take off. They were deployed to South
Carolina and Florida bases in preparation for some serious action with the Russians. And, a great feeling of relief when they returned.
GOD Bless all our Veterans
