I arrived at Ramey as an A3C right out of Lackland AFB Basic Training, assigned to AFRTS. I left two years later as an A1C and made SSgt at my next base before getting out of the USAF after 3 years 9 months.

Here, in the Ramey AFRTS radio control room, where I did the AFCN “Morning Show” in early 1967, it was warm and we frequently took off our 1505s shirt. I can’t imagine ever being that young, or that slim!!
