I was stationed at Cannon Air Force base Clovis New Mexico,i had recieved those orders on my 21st birthday.Dream sheet my butt.Was not the slightest enterested in that assignment but Uncle Sam says go and I went.To this day I explain to people that Clovis is/was 2 hours from nowhere! Just my opinion.Anyway I was a 423x5 or in other words a Aerospace Grond Equipment Mech. We were responsible with working on some of the equipment that Kept those F-111 D's in the air.They were some maintance pigs! Rarely did one land "code 1"
Some of the equipment we maintained was munitions loaders,gen sets,high and low pressure air compressors,all shapes and sizes of wing jacks,hydro. test stations,air conditioners just to name a few.
I was only there for 3 1/2years and tried to make the best of it.My point is there have been many more before me and after me that have sacrificed much,much more....And to those that have I TRUELY say THANK YOU.Those that are in hazeredous conditions,away from family,shot at....THANK YOU!!,
