Senior year in high school, went into Delayed Entry Program a month after my 18th birthday. Was working summers and weekends in a dead end warehouse job.
My first enlistment sent me to Diego Garcia, Panama and the Philippines. So it was an outstanding decision on my part!

PO1 Brian Austin You know I am jealous. Although, my recruiter hooked me up with Germany. All I wanted to do was get out of East Texas.

LOL! Great Question! I turned 18 and was looking for a Future and someone was offering me a "Dream" "Working with more Radio's than I could Imagine" and a Clearance Higher than I could Imagine. "God Access". What is Not to like about that? That Navy Engineman was not lying either. Now 2nd Enlistment was even Better Project Classic Wizard (Electrical Intelligence/Space Technology) Zeto Pt Adak, AK. April Fools Day 1980, With CTOC Karen Bueling, She Still refers to it as our Anniversary!

I was living at home, had just graduated from High School in June of 1966. I was also a Cadet in Civil Air Patrol which is the official Auxiliary of the US Air Force. I also made extra money by being a Golf caddy at a local Country club. In August of 1966 I was in Basic training at Lackland AFB, TX
