Publisher Description
During his senior year in high school, author Bill Bowers needed to make some tough decisions about his life path. At seventeen, he made a commitment to join the Air Force. On October 5, 1984, he began his military career.
In Nighthawk A Young Airmans Tour at Clark Air Base, he recounts his coming of age in the 1980s while stationed at Clark Air Base in the Philippines. Through a series of vignettes centered on the antics and comedic misadventures of a young airmans first tour of duty, this memoir offers a mirror of who we are as individuals. It shares real-life stories that explore the ups and downs of service in the military, the culture and economy of the Philippines, and the actions of a bunch of kids tossed onto an island paradise.
Nighthawk A Young Airmans Tour at Clark Air Base focuses on a self-proclaimed screw-up with a moral compass that often causes conflict. It tells how an eighteen-year-old kid fresh out of high school became a man.
Customer Reviews
Nice trip back to Clark Air Force Base.
Clark was my first overseas assignment. I was there from 78-81 with the 1961st Comm Gp. This book took me back to my time there and like the author I still have friends that I shared time with at Clark. Good book and a nice easy read. It is a accurate account of life for airman stationed at Clark.
