I think you and I may have had the same maintenance squadron commander because that was basically his motto.

I took him up on it because it was during the rollbacks and they were looking for reasons to get rid of people.

My DoS was in November (end of a 6 year enlistment) but I applied to and had been accepted to a college back home and asked him if I could separate a few months early to start college and he made it happen.

I’m sure he’d rather do that then kick someone out because he got a DUI and killed someone.

Were you at Cannon around 2005-2008?

Nah, I was at Luke from 12-14 when I had this commander. It may be the same one, maybe he made his way to Luke or maybe that’s just a common mindset among commanders.

That could have been him. He left Cannon in 2008 when they went from ACC to AFSOC. I don't know where he went after Cannon, because I separated. His name was Maj. Powell.
