The book begins with me in High School, (in Los Angeles), experiencing the added challenge of being an elected student council president; and, not letting all the political benefits affect my ego to the point where it becomes a character fault. From high school I enter the Air Force where performance, and not necessarily political connections, was how a person gained recognition. This recognition held true at every assignment from basic training, tech school, 1st assignment, Thailand, Academy Prep School, Air Force Academy and McGuire AFB. Along the way, I discuss some of the gaffs as well as the accomplishments.
