Homestead AFB, FL...the new assignment. We arrived in Homestead after a leave enroute to visit my mom, dad had died while we were in Japan. I was working in Flight Operations for the local squadron and had LtCol as a great boss. Met a couple of 1st Lieutenants who were local pilots flying T-33's and in general just doing time. We all played golf (except the LtCol) and we had a standing Sunday morning tee time of 7:30, it was an ideal place to hang your hat and just go with the flow.....but it's not where I wanted to be, I wanted Europe.
I called the Personnel Center at Randolph AFB, TX and spoke to the guy who handled assignments for my career field. I told him what I wanted and he said, here is my home address, send me a letter with your desires and I'll see what I can do.” I sent the letter and withing 90 days I had orders, Hq EUCOM in Stuttgart, Germany, we were excited.
Sexually, nothing was happening outside the ordinary, man, wife, children stuff. I was a true straight arrow without any curve at all.
