Basic Training Memories

Comments: Hi everyone. I have an unusual request. My son, Shawn, is a freshman in high school. He's been assigned an essay to do on the differences of basic training in the Air Force - then and now. The "now" part is not difficult - it's just that we can't find anything on how it was back then, i.e. women in basic training, the hours, the training itself, the housing, etc. Can anyone help me find information and or at least relay your personal experience? If so, give me the year that you were in the service (it doesn't matter which branch). My oldest son is currently serving in the Air Force and he's trying to help me on this, but so far nothing has turned up. Thanks so much! Sherri LaFerrara

Harper was pulled out while we were at the range and sent to quantico.The next time I met him was at Ascom City waiting to board a ship(the Meiggs) for rotation home. He was a first Lt.If he is still with us, I speak on behalf of the plt that he was one hell of a man as we look in retrospect, but at the time obviosloy he was a sob!I have ofter wondered if he made it a career. I stayed for three years and went on to college for my degree.
