I didn’t get to Rich until September 75. Young Specialist just up from Ft. Bragg.

Left for Flight School October 79 as a SSG.

I did the Jumpmaster course there in 77 and used to work with your old bunch on jumps, we’d Safety for the, they’d Safety for us.

My Dad was stationed at Ladd, AFB where I was born, my two oldest sons were both born at the Elmendorf AFB hospital.

My Grandparents were old Alaska hands and if I hadn’t got Flight School, I would have homesteader up there.

Good talking with another Alaska hand. Have a good evening.
