My active duty MOS was Hospital Corpsman, stationed at NAS Jacksonville, FL 3 mos. and Naval Hospital Orlando, FL for the remainder of my enlistment. I enjoyed Orlando; met many great doctors, nurses and enlisted while there. Very rewarding experience. My only regret is, I didn't re-enlist. When I enlisted in '69 women (corpsman) were not allowed deployment to Vietnam, which is why I enlisted in the first place.(So naïve) Had I gone on to Officer's Training and became a nurse it would have been a very different story!

I was under the old AFSC system.
1055 - C-130 Pilot
1355 -Flight Training Instructor (T-37)
1425 - Air Operations Staff Officer
I had various prefixes and suffixes for Safety Officer, Life Support Officer, Instructor Pilot.
Did I enjoy it? Yes! The flying jobs are some of the very best in the military or anywhere else. The staff officer jobs weren't as much fun as flying, but I learned a lot and believe I did some good work for our country. The non-flying staff officer jobs prepared me for post-retirement employment. A very good thing.

95B. It was a good job but not what I expected. Thought it was gonna be all LEO and turns out spent a lot of time in the field as well as deployments.
