In 1985, the Air Force Thunderbirds administered the oath of reenlistment to two buddies and I on the flightline. Very cool. The Thunderbirds arrived by flying low and silently over the horizon, and then they screamed over us, what a rush. Notice how well my buddy Frank (next to me) stood at attention, I was the sloucher. :)	My how the pendulum swings. After winning NCO of the Year and earning the Honor Graduate award in Leadership School, I checked into alcohol rehab at the local Air Force hospital. How many guys do you know who have photos of their time in rehab? LOL! I hope I don't get sued by any of these alkies...	Dora at Venice Beach, 1985	Mike and Wanda's first anniversary.
