My 1st tour (13 mos) was with 3/3 in Vietnam. Was medivac to the Hospital Ship Santuary and on arriving told the Doc I was there for a flight physical, he had a good laugh. Told him to patch me up and sign some flight physical papers and I would be on the first helo off the ship. Well, he fixed me up both ways. Received orders to flight school at end of my tour, graduated first in my class and went straight to a F4 Squadron in Hawaii (no training squadron). Then assigned as replacement aircrew to Squadron in Vietnam. Then spent 17 years in the F4 (Top Gun, Navy PG School, one tour with CAW 17 aboard a carrier, and Just under 4k hours in the Phantom.
