In June of 1974, I completed my Bachelors degree and entered Officer Training School (OTS) – the culmination of nine years of night school and one final year of full-time college attendance at Air Force expense. The Air Force had a program called the Bootstrap Commissioning Program (BCP) that offered a commission to those on their second or later enlistment who had accumulated 3 years of college, as selected by a BCP board of senior enlisted folks and officers. I was blessed to be selected. Selection meant that the Air Force would pay for my fourth year of college and give me a commission if I successfully completed OTS.

Rose Lake
In 1959, when I was about sixteen years old, living in northern California, our brave explorer leaders organized a wonderful trip for us to Rose Lake. The lake is well above the timberline in the high Sierras, almost due east of Merced and maybe 40 miles south of Yosemite National Park. It is surrounded by national forest lands and other national parks.
