• After Radio School shipped out to France.  The 7th Radio Relay Squad was building 29 Microwave sites.  I was able to work on a number of them and spent the last two years as N.C.O.I.C. of Flight A which consisted of 6 Microwave sites from Orleans to Chateroux, France.  These were off base manned sites.  Had a great time.
