Other Memories During this period of my life I was assigned collateral duties as Air and Ground Saftey officers, normally billeted by a Major and Gysgt. I also assumed duties as Information Systems Management Officer as no one else would after CWO Wadley (Ordnance officer) departed. This in and of itself was the key to the rest of my life.
