The Air Force sucked for getting rank if you changed specialties. They
disbanded the mobile comm squadron I was first in and sent to the IT
section as I worked on computers, as a clerk. Then changed to fixing
airborne radar units. Each a different AFSC. So was hard to get the two
years experience two get the promotion in rank. Was an AF problem


Every AF guy I knew complained about how slow enlisted rank came, yet
they had teenaged colonels.


Probably good golfers. First thing built at any Air Force base was a golf
course I think.


I know Andrews had a great golf course and a nice trap/skeet range. It
was the first place I ever shot skeet. One of my hunting buddies was
an AF guy. I ended up shooting there so often, the regulars thought I
must be an air force guy too. I was never questioned at all. It was
free. (bring your own ammo tho)
In those days they waived everyone through the gate.
