My first duty station was Kincheloe AFB MI, arrived in Dec 1970 after completing B-52 training, left in April 1975 to go to FB-111 crew training. Wasn't my first choice, but loved every minute there, well all the snow could get old, but if you like the outdoors it was fantastic!

I was sent to Chitose, Hokkaido, Japan for about 20 months. I really enjoyed it, except when it snowed without ceasing. But when it stopped, the skiing was fantastic.

Fortress Irwin CA. I’d requested FT Ord but it got BRACed after I did my preference sheet. CA is CA to Uncle Sam. July 1994 - Feb 1998. Good times...

first duty station was Eglin AFB. Not where I wanted, tried to swap with a guy who got Germany but didn't want to go but Uncle Sugar knows best. No idea what kind of base Eglin is because I was Red Horse and TDY 90% of the time. Spent most of my first tour at Shaw, Tyndall, McDIll, Langley, and various latin American countries plus a stint in Yellowknife Canada. My next tour was even better....Keflavic...
