I remember any number of guys I knew in high school whose whole ambition was to get a degree in business and get a job with the phone company. Fine for them, but my skin crawls at the idea.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308567394308330867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799438278337342869.post-75267788800692492842015-07-14T17:48:36.895-07:002015-07-14T17:48:36.895-07:00Mike, I love hearing why readers read the letters,...Mike, I love hearing why readers read the letters, or what memories they bring. I am very glad to know that service personnel are fed well for holiday dinners and it reminds me that those who are serving are doing so whether or not it's a holiday!

November of '69 was the month the Air Force decided I should attend Survival School for three weeks at Fairchild AFB near Spokane. Learned a lot, got a lot of confidence from that.

I have to say Air Force cooks pull out the stops for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308567394308330867noreply@blogger.com
