Air Force. 21 years worth. Was in the process of retireing in 2001 (growing a beard & stuff) and was “Stop-Lossed” due to 9-11. Did another year and change before actually retireing. I was Officially a “Cummunications Systems Operator”…a.k.a. Radio Operator…on the E-3 AWACS.

OK…that would be COMMUNICATIONS Operator….geeesh…you wouldn’t think it would ya?
October 30th, 2004 at 12:46 pm
CUMmunications?
Hmm. Methinks you had something other than WORK on your mind.

Incredible. E-3 Sentry? Ok, presumably you flew on one of these modified Boeing 707/320 commercial airframe with a rotating radar dome to provide all-weather surveillance, command control and communications for our US Air Defense forces (as a communications operator). Is this correct? Woah, that’s important work. I’m sure glad to know ya!!! Just out of curiosity, what was your rank when you retired?

Margi, that’s too funny…

Yep…that’s the airframe. Guessing you never heard of it.
Retired as Tech. Sgt. (E6)
