Do you remember your Draft Number?

At Maxwell? That's where I went for induction center.

Yeah Bruce, Maxwell AFB was my first assignment. Actually, it worked out pretty well for me. The initial officer training course for all direct commission appointments for JAG (me), Chaplain, certain medical people and reservists and others was there; and so was the JAG school I had to attend immediately afterword.

So while every other person I went to school with for officer orientation and JAG school was TDY living out of a suitcase in the transient quarters, I was already in the permanent party bachelor officer quarters (BOQ) (like a one man apartment with kitchen) with everything I shipped down to start duty with (not all that much, but more than a suitcase), and I had my car, and they didn't.

Of course, Maxwell AFB (also called Air University) was (and remains) where all all Air Force officer schools are located; Squadron Officer School (O3), Air Staff and Command College (O4-5), and Air War College (O6), Chaplain school, and the Senior NCO Academy is across town at little Gunter Air Force Station.

There was one big downside, which was my boss expected me to come in and work weekends on base business, and I needed every waking moment seven days a week to get through JAG school, which is like an entire semester of (military) law school packed into about 8 weeks. Nobody else at school had that good deal.

Six years later I got to come back to Maxwell to attend Squadron Officer School in residence (12 long weeks), even though I had already completed it in correspondence with a 96%. This was supposed to be good for my career..... (after awhile, when someone tells you this, you learn to run away as fast as you can with your hand over your ass).
