Reading his book took me back to a time and place when I served in the military. He brought back those humorous times during basic training. He talks about how Lila encouraged him to study hard and progress forward to be the best while serving his country. He describes his first long flight from Travis Air Force Base to his final destination of Clark Air Base, Philippines, and the 463rd OMS. Warm and enriching memories of those he trained with and those who taught him. Some of the stories he writes about being in Vietnam are humor-filled, such as when he became a Captain to order in-flight meals for his crew chiefs. Others brought on a sense of sadness from the loss of a friend. His first sapper attack, how they sent him out to look for trip grenades in his aircraft. He and his good friend from Lynn, Massachusetts, barely missed being hit by a mortar, leaving the flight line. Hearing him say how the warning siren would always go off after the attack, you knew you were safe, was humorous. A must-read book and a different look at a conflict that had no end in sight in 1968.
