My Career

I graduated High School Still wet behind the ears. Went into the working world Full of doubts and fears! I was just a youngster, Still very immature. Had no idea what to do My goal - I was not sure. My big mistake was obvious, I never planned ahead My brother Bill had warned me But I ignored what he had said! I finally had a little chat With my mother and my dad. They asked “why not join the Air Force It can’t be all that bad”? So that became my final choice One I never did regret, Cause I stayed in over 20 years A career I won’t forget! The advantages were many I met folks from every state. I saw many places in the world My assignments all were great. I served my country for 20 plus I’M pleased the time I spent. Now that I'm retired can't believe how fast it went! It goes to show you never know what fate might have in store. For me it all worked out just fine I could not have asked for more!
