It was really great. Up the hill behind the barracks you can see most all of Monterey Bay. One of my instructors had been working in Argentina and one of his coworkers was taken away. Turns out he was a wanted nazi. And the stories of Russians and vodka , all true. We had a few classes in the NCO club and they made lemon vodka with lemon peel and peppercorn vodka for an authentic Russian meal. I think they ended up closing the Monterey campus. I have most definitely been blessed.
My only overseas station was Munich. Alaska and Panama seem like would be cool to go to. What tech school Illinois? I am not very familiar with AF stations. What is the AF base by Ft Dix? When we hit formation we were at the end of the runway, so takeoffs were almost right overhead. Watching the jets takeoff and the DC5s land was cool. They seem to just float down out of the sky ..
Munich... went to class there for 4 days back in 1987. Awesome city! Alaska, if you can get past the mosquitos, is great. Panama, loved the few locals I got to meet in December '89.

Maguire (sp?) Is next to Dix. I've never been there. Nothing like the sound of a C5... especially the one that you are manifested on
Your time in Monterey sounds incredible, especially with all those unique experiences! I haven’t traveled as much as you have, but I’ve had some memorable trips. I visited Italy a few years ago and was amazed by the rich history and the local cuisine. It’s always such a privilege to explore new cultures.
