I did almost 25. Glad I got out when I did (2011) It is getting to "sensitive" for me now I would have been thrown out since I am old school and would let my people know they screwed up !

Same here. Now being in the Field Artillery we were pretty much shielded as we're a stand alone group so we didn't/don't have to make female adjustments. But yeah overall when I got out in the 2000's it was far and away different than when I came in in 1982.

I didn't but I did frequent a junk yard outside of Junction City that was ful of cool old Mopars. Super Bees Chargers Shaker Cuda Sure its all long gone now.
 
I remember a junk yard outside of Ogden that had a 340 4 speed Duster I wanted but I couldn't come up with the bucks.
I did buy a '73 Charger 340 auto while I was stationed there, and rebuilt the motor at the auto shop on post.

USAF 1973-1993. After Navigation school, I spent two years at Little Rock AFB in the 50th TAS and two years as an instructor in the 16th TATS. Then I taught navigation at the USAF Nav school at Mather AFB for 4 years. Then I was in a Special Ops unit in Germany where we flew covert aerial reconnaissance missions all over the world. Then 3 more years at Little Rock, 2 years as a controller at 21st AF HQ in NJ. Then a one year remote in Panama, and the last few years again at Little Rock AFB. I retired as a Major. It was great 20 years.
