Religion

I did well. After 15 months in Turkey, I ended up in the NSA building, doing stuff I was good at.

Yes, I was a pain in the ass. I got all involved in the anti-war movement in DC. I showed up at some protests in uniform, and even got arrested once. I showed my security badge to the cop and he turned me loose. I was done with military service.

The United Way thing was my last stand. Because of my unique talent, I had some cover, I guess. So they just faded me out. It was funny to me at that point. They gave up, I think. Once I was out, I never heard any more. I used up my GI Bill benefits, and went on with my life.

There are many stories from the USAF days. Most can't be told. It was an interesting time. I pushed, but didn't exceed, lots of limits, and came out unscathed. I even met Richard Nixon at one point, although I only said, "Good morning, Mr. President."

Fun times! I wish I could write a book about those three years and three months, but I can't. That would take it past the limits.
