    It was rough...I was part of the last all male class. If we wanted women they had to be bused in from Colorado Women's College. Plus we have to pay $1.25 for a place to stay and ski lift tickets at Breckenridge. Glider rental was free but sometimes there was a waiting list. Concerts were also free but when Seals and Crofts preformed there the light pole fell to the stage and that could have been painful. And when the Olympic trials were first there, they made us cadets escort the athletes around. I got stuck with some gal with a funny hair cut. Dorthy Hamill, I don't know what happened to her. We only got paid $600 a month of which we had to save $560 of it so we could buy a Corvette when we were Seniors. And then we had to fly jets. Life was hard but we overcame.

    As you can see it kind of bothers me when someone thanks me for my service. I had a great time.

    C-Rations were much better than MREs. They came with a 5-pack of cigarettes.
