On August 8, I celebrate 50 years to my first day in the USAF. I remember it down to the clothes I arrived in. By that morning I was scared, as that was that ugly sarge's intent. But I got in a groove and successfully finished basic, went on to tech school and finished my 4 years working avionics on F4's. Fond of my time in and proud for serving. Some of my best memories of my life. I would do it again if I could. "D"

Thank you for serving my friend. F4s? Huh, I think of you as more of a tank guy.rotfl
Congrats on your anniversary, but mostly thanks for your service. I tried to bend wrenches on aircraft and the man said no thanks. I was a few years ahead of you.
I’m rolling up fast on 52 years and i also remember it like it was yesterday. It was indeed scary for a couple weeks. It was scarier being deployed when you had no idea where your going. I settled into MP service for the Marine Corp and yes, I would answer the call again. It’s funny how we go thru life saying things like “ I’ll never see 40 “. Then it’s fifty and after sixty it becomes very special just to put your boots on every day. I didn’t get in on F-4 s but sure learned all I could from those Apache. Good luck my friend and thank you for those years.

Well done Danny, thank you for your service. Which F-4 variant did you work on? The F-4E was like landing an apartment complex.
I worked D and E all modified electronics. Test squadron until I made it to Germany. Over there I took care of the test equipment. I was the last guy to leave our avionics hanger and handed the keys over to the new F15 guys.Quote:
