Hi folks! I joined in '72. MOS 67G20 Fixed wing aircraft repair. Spent most of my time at Headquarters and Headquarters Company at Ft. McClellan, AL. Worked on U-8, T-41, OH-58 and UH-1D/H's also received cross-training as 71 Poppa flight dispatcher...lotta hats.Sent to Air Cav Troop, 2nd ACR, Nurnberg Germany in '76. Worked as 71 Poppa(flight dispatcher). NO fixed wings with the ACT. Requested transfer to a fixed wing outfit and was sent to Stuttgart to work on OV-1 Mohawks in the 73rd M.I. Company. Was crew chief on 007, a SLAR bird keeping the czech's on their side of the border. Then became a maintenance crew leader for the periodic inspections. Got out in '78 as a SGT. Have discovered that most WW II and Korea vets as well as some RVN combat troops consider me to be a basic non-entity because "I wasn't there!" Maybe not but I WAS in-service and WAS willing to go. Anyway, God bless ALL who serve. I'm proud of all of you!!! Thank you and welcome home.
