Former Intel Specialist (emphasis-Russia); cross-trained in Radar/Communications/Air Intercept Control- Cuba/Iceland….
I took the Intel PARS training manual to my room —because I couldn’t do both.. my OS Job at Anti-Air Warfare AND the necessary study for early advancement for Rank ..without passing all requirements. (I wanted up the ranks quickly)..
