Sorry for not knowing that a single stripe was for an airman 3rd class. I assumed that it was like an army PFC. That photo of you also brought back pleasant memories of one of our star tenors.<br /><br />Ron: Thank you for your comment. Quite honestly I don't understand why they discontinued the draft and went to a volunteer service. I do believe that many of those young turks who are joining gangs would benefit by experiencing the hardships and discipline we all had to experience. My army career made a man of me.<br /><br />Tom <br />Tom Gloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01749723834326832799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-53156922306954095192012-10-24T17:20:44.435-04:002012-10-24T17:20:44.435-04:00Tom, Lee, thanks for your service.

I agree that everyone should do training, and then service to their country for 2 years at least...and it wouldn't necessarily have to be Military, after the training session. They could serve in some of other way. I remember my first week, in 1959, and thought, "Damn, we are in trouble", with guys going every which way. But was amazed what a team we had become, in only a week. USAF 1959-1989, in case you wondered why I wasn't around Hamilton/Hamilton Township/Trenton a lot. :) Ron Boundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-54334519294566301302012-10-24T13:57:25.509-04:002012-10-24T13:57:25.509-04:00Tommy

Your picture reminds of the # 1 base and the star You of "Tulip time".BY THE WAY i AGREE WITH YOU 1000%.In fact I think we should restart the draft with only physical exemptions. You owe the privilege for being born in the U.S.A.Keep on shining soldier.Your buddy <br />LeeLee Belardinonoreply@blogger.com
