A true patriot, he joined the Air Force Reserves October 29, 1985 and was assigned to the enormous task of maintaining the C-5A Galaxy aircraft - a mighty beast able to hold seven greyhound buses. That assignment included survival training in Spokane, Washington. Severe temperatures during the training nearly cost him his toes to frostbite. Not deterred, he trained at Altus, Oklahoma for Air Performance and Flight Engineer.

In 1987, he was assigned to the 68th AS (Airlift Squadron) 433rd Air Wing. In 1988, he transferred and trained as a Structural Specialist in Gulfport, Mississippi.
