description: In 1972, Kelley Culver was a newly married college dropout with few, if any, good prospects. Hoping to avoid the draft and Vietnam, which seemed the most likely course his life would take, Kelley enlisted in the U.S. Air Force. What started out as a short-term goal became a 23-year career. This book recounts many of the events that helped shape his career. From his beginnings as an Air Force airman, Kelley advances through the ranks to eventually retire as a major. Along the way, he finds himself in situations that are often funny, sometimes dark, but always realistic. A career that included service as an emergency room technician, nuclear missile operations officer, and commander of a squadron during Desert Shield/Storm, Kelley’s story is full of interesting people and unexpected opportunities and shows that, with a little confidence in yourself, you can accomplish much more than you ever imagined.
