Air Force Once tells of the highs and lows of a military career. It's a detailed journey from basic military training to a celebrated conclusion, highlighting events that occur along any pathway that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines can and will endure. The book reveals the inside scope of supporting the president of the United States during three White House administrations and one secretary of state. Performing work on Air Force One is not your typical aircraft technician's assignment. Security is a different way of life, working on the commander in chief's mode of transportation. Aircraft are FAA registered and certificated, and the Eighty-Ninth Military Airlift Wing was the only Air Force wing with an FAA repair station license at that time. With a Washington, DC, assignment as the capstone of the story, this book takes the reader along each PCS (permanent change of station) from Dover AFB, Delaware, to Mountain Home AFB, Idaho, and chronicles the events that occurred along the way.
