1. No.
2. I went TDY to Clark AB in the PI for 2 months.
3. USAF
3A. C Flight, 63rd OMS, 63rdMAW
4. None in 'Nam; exactly 4 years in the AF
5. APG, Jet over II
6.Since I wasn't in 'Nam I never had to go to R&R but did go TDY to Germany, Japan, the PI, Hawaii, Alaska and several of the lower 48 states.
7. none
8. Earned an Air Medal for sticking a very heavy pin into the landing gear of a C-141 in flight when the indicator light showed an "unlocked" position. Turns out it was a bad indicator and I wound up with a few torn muscles in my shoulder.
9. No
10. No
11. None
12. No
13. No
13A. No
14. No
15. None
16. No, but only because it wasn't a declared war though she should be ostracized.
17. None in 'Nam but spent most of my tour at Norton AFB in San Bernardino, CA.
