Dave Eldred
Class of 1972
Air Force, 4 Years
Got draft notice in mail, went down and enlisted. Honor grad at tech school. Went to Fairchild AFB, Washington. Worked on B52's and KC135's repairing from encounters over Viet Nam. Was on mobility team where at a moments notice could leave to a forward base where ever trouble brewed. Also had a special clearance so I could work on nuke loaded aircraft without another person observing. Sold back 60 days leave and lost 5 days. I never felt I needed time off.
