George Carlin was trained in aviation electronics and was stationed in Barksdale, Lousiana. Like many other greats, he had a very disrespectful attitude to his superiors. He was discharged after three years for poor conduct. His discharge propelled him to become a comedic gift to many people all over the world. Regardless of the discharge, George Carlin was proud of his service and is a Soldier for the Cause.

We remember you George.

Russ Mahera, writer for OpenSalon and Air Force veteran, found Carlin’s yearbook picture during his time in Louisiana:
