My dad, his picture when he got out of the Air Force was not nearly as smiley.View attachment 1499449
That was taken in San Antonio, wasn't it?
One never knows... I may have slept in the same barracks that he did... The year I went to basic we were over populated so they recommissioned the old barracks just for us.
The old MOB barracks were quite the treat. I was many years after your Dad. I was popular with the TI because I knew wood. We moved in the barracks hadn't been used for like 20 years. I gave him a shopping list and had the old hardwood floors shinning in just a couple days.I seem to remember him saying they were packed tighter than sardines so ya'll might have been.![]()

he got me a sanding disk for the buffer, some stain and good carnuba wax. Sanded those old hardwood oak floors down to bare wood, stained them and then waxed them to a pristine shine. They looked like brand new floors. When the company commander inspected us, he was amazed and brought the TI's from the other barracks and told them "this is what you need to achieve... Oh and it's not impossible." So the following weekend I was doing training.I bet you did put a smile on him doing that.![]()
