Overlapped my dad's service, he got out of the AF in '59 as a S/Sgt IIRC.

I'll assume he did more than 4. When I was in, you had to re-up to have any chance at S/SGT. For that reason, A/1C was the best I could do.
I did have one advantage over the rest of the A/1Cs. If you had less than 4 years, you still had to pull KP. Because of my prior 3 years in the USNR, when I made A/1C...no more KP.

Obviously, I'm old enough to be your father. :shock:

I'm thinking it was 54-59, Korea, San Antonio with his last assignment in the belly of the beast-the Pentagon. Got notification during the Cuban Missile Crisis to be ready to "rejoin" at the drop of a hat. Fortunately the hat never dropped. Might have been a lesser Sgt, I'm thinking not quite enough stripes! He later went back into Army Reserves and had to go backwards and re-climb the ranks! Actually called up for 2 days to help process paperwork through the Port of Houston for GW1.
