TUSLOG Det 3-2 (Samsun), 1959-1960. HQ USAFSS Kelly AFB, 1960-1962. 20250. Sadly, I recognized no names on this site.

Didn't know how smart we were 'til I read years later that we were the top one-half of one percent of enlisted recruits. Could that possibly be true?

I enjoyed the work very much but even with excellent writeups and a five level at the earliest opportunity I was, at the end of four years, still an E-4/A1C with 21 months in grade. That was enough for me so out I went. But I would not trade the experience for anything.
