Veterans History Project

My groups veteran was changed multiple times and we eventually had a veteran to interview. Our veteran was very kind and he worked in the air force. We never saw combat as he was just a repair man on the base. His job was to stabilize and fix aircraft that are not functioning properly. During the interview he talked about his family and what it was like to be away from them for a long period of time. We also learned what the training was like and the strict schedules that they put you through to get you ready for the military. Our veteran has never seen combat however he has served out country by repairing these aircrafts. Our veteran also talked about what post military life was like and what he does as a career now. Our veteran has a schedule that he follows every day and it is similar to the military schedule. Our veteran wakes up very early every morning and gets his day started. He liked his experience in the military and feels like it has changed him in a positive way. Our veteran is now a runner and enjoys running short marathons and using this to clear his mind and just enjoy his life. Even though he did not actually see any combat he got to experience the effects of it and use this knowledge to improve his work and create a better experience for himself and everyone that he worked with. This experience will go on with him throughout the rest of his life.
