Edward Barger
Class of 1974
Air Force, 20+ Years
My 21 yrs. in the Air Force as an Aerospace Ground Equipment Operator/ repairman (AGE), took me too many Countries around the World. Was able to see and meet people from all different parts of the World which was very interesting to me, to see how other people live and work. Some of the highlights of my Career. Deployed for 2 months during the Grenada Campaign. One month during the capture and expedite of Noriega. During the first Desert Storm severed 8 months in Saudi Arabia / Kuwait and 17 return trips to Kuwait over my remaining yrs. of my career. Bases I have been stationed at are Shaw, S.C., 2 bases in Nevada, Bitburg, GE .and finished up my time at Moody A.F.B. GA. To me the most interesting place I have visited out of all the countries which I have visited would have to be Norway. Everyone should visit it at least once!!!
