Debbie Martin Crocker
Class of 1971
Air Force, 4 Years
I went straight from Lackland AFB to Hickam AFB, Hawaii because of joint spouse. I enjoyed my time at Hickam AFB in the 57th Supply Squadron. I wanted to make it my career, but ended up getting a medical retirement. Growing up an Air Force Brat, I wanted to stay in the rest of my life. I was a cook in the Chow hall and on the flight line from 75 to 77. I also did accounting for the Food Service Office. I loved it! It was Real Culture shock coming into the civilian world!!!
