After the Army shifted ATC training from Kessler to Ft. Rucker I was in one of the first classes to go through ATC school on Tank Hill from July 1970 to October 1970. However after 13 months in Korea and then a year at Hunter AAF, when we were training Vietnamese pilots, I got out and went in the FAA.
In 1981 when I was working at Pensacola Approach I got caught up in the PATCO strike, I knew about 5 guys that got hired by DOA at Cairns Approach, but they're probably all retired by now.
My wife and I settled in Southern Star Villas in Tamarind Grove almost a year ago. You'll like it here a lot.
