Bobby G. Burns
Class of 1954
Air Force, 20+ Years
Retirement date was 1 May 76 after 23 1/2 years of service. I retired as Master Sergeant and I served my last 7 plus years in the SR71 U2 program at Beale AFB, California. I saw combat duty in RVN in 1965. I spent over five years on the Island of Okinawa, one year on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska with the USAF Security Service. Three years in Germany and assignments in Oklahoma,Minnesota,Texas,Louisiana, California, Wyoming and Colorado. I left CHHS prior to graduation and graduated GED after my entry into the USAF. I successfully completed numerous Technical schools and received associate degrees in Electro-mechanical Engineering, Technical Photography and Business Management.
My military traveling also took me to the Philippines, Formosa, Thailand , Holland, Luxumburg, Belgium, Italy and France. The AF gave me educational Opportunities I would never have been able to get without having served.
