Great to see I'm not the only 46270 on the site, I wish I could find a old ATR-2A, I would mount it on my front yard!

Pretty impressive!
My career was varied, I started out in 1959 in the MN ANG and after 33 weeks at Lowry going to Aircraft Armament Systems Mechanic Course 46230 I returned back to the unit and loaded the MB-1 on the "89J.
Back to Lowry in 1962 to Nuclear Weapons Fusing & Firing Systems Specialist Course 33130A. Returned to my unit again and was hired as a fulltime Air Technician. I worked in a co-located weapons storage site with active duty troops supporting the 179th FIS ANG F-89J's and 11th FIS F-106's.
Back to Lowry again when our unit converted to the F-102, this time to Missile Guidance & Control Technician course 31631L back home again working on the AIM-4A/D and WSEM.
Another aircraft conversion to the F-101B and back to the storage site as a Nuc Wpns 46370 (AFSC conversion). By this time the 87th FIS (old 11FIS) had moved to K.I. Sawyer and now I'm a MSgt NCOIC with the active duty 463's from Det 1 of the 460 FIS working for me.
Yet another conversion this time to the RF-4C and you guessed it, back to Denver to Continuous Photo Processing Specialist Course 23330. Returned to MN and became the NCOIC of the Photo Processing Interpretation Facility. Our job was processing, analysis, printing and reporting of the imagery produced by the RF.
Next aircraft was the F-4D and back to ADC and I'm back to the old 462 AFSC, no trip to Lowry this time. Load training with the Oregon and Hawaii ANG and then Load Crew Training NCO AIM7's & 9's.
Running out of space, from the load shop to the flight simulator another trip to Lowry, last one, to F-16 Avionics AIS shop.
Transfer to CA ANG 196th TRS at March AFB and the RF-4C. Back in Photo on active duty doing photo reconnaissance for law enforcement drug interdiction operations. Transfer within the CA ANG to the 146th TAW using a camera system on the C-130E. Spent the last ten years on the 130 operating the camera system as well as doing the ground processing, again for interdiction ops.
Retired as a Chief with 32 years ANG time and 10years active duty for a total of 42 years. As a 462 I wasn't sure you could do the math!

20 rounds of 20mm TP Ammo, I found these in a pawn shop, wondering how someone walked off base with 20 rounds.
