Welcome to TBN. Glad that you joined with us here.
Thanks for your service. How long were you in and when did you retire?
How much land are you taking care of and what are you raising besides dust?

Drafted in '67, ended up retiring in 94. Messed with some goats for a while, now doing honey bees, its an old cattle ranch that needed a LOT of work...

That is how I wound up in the Air Force was to beat the draft and stay out of Nam. I did wind up in Nam but flying around in a C130 was a lot better than "Running Through The Jungle."

Don,
HIGHLIGHT of my tour was our bird was selected to fly Bob Hope and his Christmas group around Nam. That group included Raquel Welch, The Gold Diggers, Miss America, Connie Francis, Les Brown and others. Hope was as friendly as could be and any time we were delayed, for maintenance, fuel, people, or anything, he would make jokes to keep everyone loose. All Connie Francis ever did was *****, *****, ***** about everything. She didn't want to talk to anyone who didn't wear an eagle or a star and treated everyone else like a dirt. Hope talked to every one and so did all the others in the group. The wing graphics guy designed a poster depicting our bird and caricatures of each star on it and had them autograph it and we all got a copy.
