John LaGreca
Class of 1966
Air Force, 4 Years
Entered the Air Force at Ft.Hamilton in Brooklyn, and flown out to Texas for 30 days of boot camp. Was given orders to report to Sheppard A.F.B tech school for jet mechanics. After a quick 30 day leave, I was sent to Japan for my entire tour of duty. I became a Sgt. and spent time going TDY's back and forth to Osan Air Base Korea. I disliked my position, and never wanted it. I had enlisted with the promise of getting trained in Air Force Air Police. I planned on putting in 20 years, and then retire from the A.F. and begin a police carear in Long Island New York. I'm retired from living a life of auto mechanics, and aircraft parts repair and manufacturing.
