About this ebook

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.

Author

Robert A. Crothers

Retired Air Force member served his first tour in Vietnam from February 1969 to June 1970 with the 463rd Organizational Maintenance Squadron, Clark Air Base, Philippines. I write about my time serving in that era and of a girl's closeness from back home that inspired me to become the best I could while I served. Her inspiration from her letters, and care packages sent, made my tour one of the best at the time. She took an interest in what life was like serving overseas, where we went from the Philippines, and keeping me in her thoughts and prayers as I served overseas. This is just one of the many other stories of my service time during the Vietnam Era and others that shared similar experiences. Other stories from that time were those that I served with, tech school classmates, and a marriage loss. Today my wife, a retired flight attendant, and I travel in our RV throughout the United States with our dog Flirty Bird. And as I travel, I write those stories that are remembered from those we visit from my military time and share stories with other military veterans and those who want to hear and read about them.
