I entered USAF in Dec '71. Spent almost 8 months on Lackland going through; basic, SP Tech school, K-9 school, then AZR course. Went to NKP in Sept '72-Sept '73. Had two dogs, Tina and Duke working LE and searching for narcotics. I was also 19 in country and had a good experience. It's good to hear from others who survived. Welcome Home!
