The next guest to the podcast is not only a military veteran of the United States Air Force, but also an alumnus of NCKAVTS, class of '72. After graduating the Carpentry program, he signed up for the USAF in 1973. He was honorably discharged in 1976, found a job, found a wife, and then signed up for the Air National Guard in 1986. In 2014, he began working for NCK Tech in the maintenance department, where he has moved ranks, and become the maintenance director. I've had the pleasure of working for him in the summers between teaching.

AJ tells all about his days growing up on a farm, working for his dad at a grocery store, his stint in the military, and his time at NCK Tech, both in the classroom in '72, and as the current maintenance director. He has a lot of cool stories. I especially liked some of his bombing range stories.

Stick around after the outro music, and listen to AJ tell about his awards and decorations he received in the military.

 

Enjoy listening to AJ Baxa.
