I served in the USAF from 1969-1973, attended DLI in the Basic Czech course, and was stationed in Darmstadt and Rimbach as a member of the 6910th Security Group (AFSC 20331).

After an 18 year separation, I re-enlisted in 1991 as a member of the Texas Air National Guard, retiring in 2007 as a SMSgt-E8.

My duty at DLI, Goodfellow AFB, an Germany were some of the most memorable times of my life. I am proud to have served as a member of the USAFSS.

Larry,
I was in the USAFSS from 1950-52, 1st RSM & 15th RSM, Japan & Korea. I have the 3 volumes, awaiting the 4th. The depth of research and details are amazing in your work. The interviews, mixed in with the statistical data, added a good change-of-pace for readers and researchers. I am honored to have you as a fellow Airman friend.
