About this ebook

Being married while in the service of the United States does not work out, unless you are an officer or a higher-rank NCO. As a lower-rank enlisted man and married, even with two paychecks coming in, there is never enough money.

When this story took place, I was single, with the exception of when I returned from West Germany. I was married in Germany, and as we returned to the States, there was never enough money to live the same way that we had lived while in West Germany. When I arrived in Vietnam, I received a Dear John letter requesting a divorce.

When I returned from Vietnam living on base, I requested to move off base because it was so noisy in the barracks. The amount of money that the government allows a lower-enlisted man is $105 per month. That doesnt buy too much to live onlike gas for a vehicle, oil for heating, rent for a cheap housing, food, and you are broke.

I retired from the US Air Force last September 2, 1972.

I live in Oakdale, Minnesota, share the house with my wife Karen and two cats, Bubby and Shadow. I was able to pick up my hobby of kite fl ying again. In1998 The American Kite fl iers Association had a raffl e. The prize was 2 each “Sutton 252” kites. I won the 2 kites, thus catapulting me into a different level of kiting. The kite itself was worth about $1000. Had many offers to buy the 2nd kite. Ended up selling the extra kite, to buy tails and line to fl y one kite. Which I was fl ying when this story, “String Walking took place . . . .
