Here's one from an 8 year Cold War nuke vet. My father paid his dues in 5 amphib assaults and three years in the South Pacific.

Never made it there...2 tours at K.I. Sawyer AFB, MI (once as an Admin Clerk and the second as Security Police (LE Flight Chief) - that was SAC. Also a SAC detachment at RAF Mildenhall in the UK. Started out as a Ground Radio Operator so had 3 AFSCs to my name. Got out as a SSgt. The promise of a retirement was just a lie.

Yeah I started out in the dental clinic and finished as a launch facility manager. Had my fill and there was a RIF going on so said good bye. Did my duty and moved on!
