First assignment was at Luke AFB crewin 83-1146. Got my first overseas assignment to Kunsan AB, ROK crewing 89-2066. Went back to Luke AFB and ended up crewing the flagship, 87-0356. Took her over from "Uncle" Bourland when supervision made him give her up. Got force retrained and moved out to JB MDL, NJ working C-17's. Worked the line there for several years and then moved on over to the Maintenance Squadron watching over the guys working the C-17s, KC-10s, and KC-46s there. Finally retired and now I am living that "Grumpy Old Vet" life.

Sgt Doudy. Long time! I want to get on here as your wipe for 356. How the hell are you? I see you are on C-17s still. Brings heavy Chief is much different than being a fighter guy
