James Martin
Class of 1978
Air Force, 20+ Years
Enlisted in 1984 as Subsistense Operations Specialist(Food Supply for those who don't know). Ended up as a Fitness Center Director last 6 years before retirement. Lived and toured many new lands and cultures. I wouldn't change a thing if I had a chance to do it all over again. I am currently in Federal Service working on my second retirement. It has been quite a ride! I never imagined myself retiring from the Military when in High School. I guess I just took one enlistment at a time.
