1968

Joined the AF and did 22 years. After that spent 20 years in airlines and aircraft overhaul and conversion.
Currently I've spent the last 13 years with the FAA keeping the airways safe.

15 schools to get through 12 grades. My overseas schools were in Tripoli, Libya and some short stints at Lakenheath and Berlin while accompanying dad on extended TDYs. Also went to civilian schools in NY, FL, WA, CA, and OR. DODDS put me so far ahead that WA and CA wanted to put me ahead 2 grades but mom and dad knew better. Turns out they were right.
I spread my college around over 30 years ending up with an MS in Aviation Maintenance Management and Certification in Avionics Autopilot/Navigation Integration Engineering and a specialty in Abnormal Industrial Psychology.
Can you guess which one served me best?

Libya, England, Germany 59 to 63

Yes

Too many to even start into it here; but: Two years ago, out partying with friends, my wife kept staring at the bass player in the band. We were introduced by mutual friends and it turns out my wife and the bass player went to high school together in Phoenix. I was simultaneously experiencing similar feelings about his wife. After about three minutes we distilled it down to having gone to school together at Lakenheath. Can't keep a brat down, eh? Three degrees of separation if not fewer, eh?

Family home is Utica NY. I've lived there for 6 of my 73 years.

Germany, all of it. The warmth of the people, scenery, realistic attitudes towards life.
