I was getting out of the USAF in Nov 1986. Had my out-processing paperwork and was getting all of the boxes checked. During the last year of enlistment I had tried to transfer to Training Instructor, just like the DI and DS of other services, paperwork was lost. I had tried to transfer to Weatherman/or Combat Weather, all paperwork was lost again. So, I’m sitting in front of the Hahn Air Base Education Officer and she starts looking at all of my paperwork, digging through drawers, looks up at me, goes back to her drawer, and finally asks, “Can you tell me why you came in the Air Force as Enlisted?” I had no answer for her. I still don’t.

A week later I was at McGuire AFB in New Jersey. I was in a room with 48 people in it, all returning from overseas…only 6 of us were asked to reenlist, I refused but took it as a compliment.

When I first came to Boeing my intent was to build airplanes long enough to afford to go to the University of Kansas, get a dual degree in Political Science and History and then to go to Law School. I retired at 55 still wanting to go to Law School. Did 4 more years at Boeing and was Medically laid off. So, it’s still Law School OR to pick a suitable MA/PhD path to follow.

University of the People is the cheapest.

Walden University is the fastest.

American Public University is where my heart is set.
