  • Keith: Sounds like the military prepared you for a good life. I was in the reserves so I was discharged to the reserves and started college and drill in 1975. Joined the Louisiana State Police in 81. Worked at Troop F in Monroe La for 30 years. Now live in West Carroll Parish and work as a deputy. I ride my motorcycle a lot up in Ark. I go through Arkadelphia quite a bit. I live about 10 miles from the Ark line. Bryant is an easy ride. Do you ride a mc? Also I found some RTC fellow recruits on Facebook. Baucum and Bodder.

  • My cousin Mike and I both became Aviation Fire Control technicians and served our enlistment at NAS Lemoore, CA. We both we to collee an ecme CPAs. He went to Houston and I stayed in Little Rock area. We both got married within a year of leaving service and are stll married with grown kids. In 1998, Mike stopped at a tragic light and an out of control driver hit him head on. Had it not been fora medflight to Houston where Dr Red Duke attended to him, he would have died. Today, He can walk with a walker and has some problems. He is a partner in a small.CPA firm in Baytown, TX. I work for the state of Arkansas
  • Yep, thats me. I scanned that pic from the Anchor book we got at graduation. There is a small x above my pic. If you didnt keep up with your Anchor boot camp book I will scan some more pictures and post them. I went back to San Diego in 2001 to visit the base. It was basically abandoned, and used a fire dept training site by the city. The old cement slabs we washed clothes on were still there. The TDE1 is still there. I pulled up the site on google earth and looked at it recently. It is very good to hear from you. Update me on how things are going.
