1989-01-04 Wednesday

I enlisted in the US Air Force. I flew down to Lackland AFB, Texas with three other fellows from Ohio.

I was at the 3701st BMTS (Basic Military Training Squadron) in Flight 205. Our Team Chief (Drill Sargent) was SSgt Perez. Our Assistant Team Chief was Sgt Stefen and after a few days it was Sgt Gustatis.

Of the 47 people in my flight, 1 person was in the Reserves and 3 were ANG (Air National Guard).

1989-01-30 Monday

This was my last day at Lackland. I and two of the other three PA's (Proficiency Advance) Airmen left on this day. I was the only PA due to being in CAP. I believe that the others were all either ROTC or JROTC. We were supposed to leave earlier, but we always had difficulty with our appointments.

I flew from the airport in San Antonio, TX to the airport in New Orleans, Louisiana; it was a short flight. I then took a long bus ride from New Orleans to Keesler AFB, Mississippi for Technical Training, or as it is more commonly called Tech School. Biloxi, MS is the town right outside the West Gate of Keesler.

I was in the 3411th Student Squadron. My dorm room was in Bay 2-8, which was on the second floor. Roy Ballard was my room mate and would be for my entire time at Keesler.

I know that I didn't start class the next day. I was in casual status for a bit. I was in the Apprentice Communications-Computer Systems Programming Specialist Course. It consisted of the following 8 sub-courses or blocks:
