“The early years—my father was an Army Jag assigned to Childress Army Airfield, Texas,” shares the author. “Shortly after I was born, he was transferred to Nuremburg, Germany, to arrest and try Nazi war criminals. Six months later, he was assigned to Selfridge AFB, Michigan. After he retired, I attended the Citadel. After graduation, I attended pilot training and C-130 qualification.
“Assigned to Ching Chuan Kang AB in Taiwan, I flew a three-week rotation to Saigon–Bangkok flying combat sorties. Following several tours in the States, I assumed command of the 39 TAS at Pope AFB, North Carolina and flew a combat mission in Grenada.
“I took command of the 1st SOW at Hurlburt Field, Florida and deployed the wing for combat operations in Panama for Just Cause and desert storm.
“After promotion to brigadier general, I was deployed to Miami, Florida, as Air Force commander for JTF Andrew, the storm of the century that decimated South Florida.
“I took command of the 438 Airlift WIWG at McGuire AFB, New Jersey and was deployed to Haiti as AF commander to uphold democracy. I retired on December 1994.”
