I would have been just across the hall from you in John Black flt during that time period. My first student (Mike Sanders) was an Ohio guard guy, and a long story but I was offered an A-7 job in one of the units in Ohio in '85 but went to an Eagle assignment instead.
Good luck and hope to meet all you guys on here after the smoke clears. We can all wear nametags at a mini APC reunion.....probably in ATL when we're there for southern charm school

Ferd,
Small world! Mike is one of my best buds as he was a Guard baby in the A-7 unit (Rickenbacker) that I got my Project Season assignment in. Mike's a 22+ yr. USAir guy and would trade places with us in a second! You should have taken the Ohio guard job in '85, it
would have kept you out of the Eagle!!! I later flew the viper and brother (Willie 82-06) was an Eagle guy at Langley and Kef.
Cheers,
