| Bernadette Enid, OK | I was a WCS Specialist from 1978 to 1981 at England AFB. I worked in Blue Squadron and mostly on swing shift. I love the A-7D. I started getting trained on A-10 aircraft but was pregnant with my first child and did not re-enlist after her birth. My husband and I both left the military in 1981. 12/02/2014 @ 10:53 [ref: 68801] |
