My Profile

[darrels joy]

For those who pay attention to such things, I'd like to apologize to the Army and the Air Force.

I was told by my mother that my father served in the Navy & Army. She even had an old Army jacket that she said was his.

My sister sent me copies of his DD214s.

He served in the Navy then in the Air Force.

He died when I was young and Mom is dead so no explanation is available from her.

My Profile is now corrected.

Not to worry.

Besides ditto-dittoing SuperScout, no: "Apology" to Army nor "Explanation" from Mother needed.

Way back when...The U.S. Airforce was actually called: "The U.S. ARMY Air Force", PERIOD.

Also, both Class-As & Fatigues & Ranks were very little different (if any) than Regular Army's.
In movies,...the only difference noticed was that basically that Officer Flyers wore wings.
Looked sharper in Class-As also.

Besides and back then whether Drafted or Volunteering, you went where needed by Uncle Sam.
If Army (Airforce inclusive) needed personnel, one became Army.
Ditto-ditto any Sailors or Marines needed.
