  I remember training next to many Iranian students that we were supporting at the time under the Shah. I always took exception to the fact that the Iranian students wore dress whites with gold shoulder boards and ropes and we had only our drab uniforms. AFUNP school was quite an experience. Didn't like it...lol. I had many great and fun times with the locals of Millington. What great and friendly people they are. I hated to leave that base because I made so many friends in a short time. I used to hitch rides to the Raleigh Springs mall and on one trip late at night with no rides available back from the mall, happened across a KKK meeting in the middle of nowhere, and in the middle of the night. THAT scared the heck outta me!...LOL. Until I realized I had nothing to worry about. MAN how far we have come since then, thank goodness. But it sure scared the heck out of a 19 year old first time away from home. Talk about "Welcome to the WORLD"!

  After boot camp in San Diego, I went to Millington in Sep 1979, and went through the usual AFUN, BE&E, AV'A', and AFTA schools. I left there about same time that Ken started. I remember that we were trained alongside members of Kuwait's military - long before Irag invaded them.

  Does anyone have photos of the F4U Corsairs that were used to train AD's in the A School during the 50's?

  After Boot camp, got sent to Millington, Sep 1980. Went thru Aviation Fund.s, BE&E, AV"A", and AFTA. Almost flunked AFTA, I failed the final exam, so had to go before an oral review board. I explained I had been under stress lately ( got news that grandmother had heart problems, and great grandmother had to be hospitalized) and that affected my ability to study for the test, but that I knew the material, and could prove it. So they tested me orally on the material, and I passed!

  I started out going to BE&E school but the self paced computer said that I was taking to long. LOL After bailing out of the school, I was taking the last test when I was boarded, I had to stick around for a couple of months waiting on orders. They came in, sending me to Iceland. I think I pissed someone off. LOL
