William Hill talks about joining the US Air Force in 1967, his training as an Airborne Radio Repairman, his assignment with the Strategic Air Command, and his training in cryptography with a top secret clearance. He remembers being stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War, where he repaired radios and went on frag runs at night with the 2nd Detachment of the 834th Air Division, dropping flares to aid US troops, and flying classified missions. He describes off-duty life in Thailand. He speaks about his realization of the war’s horrors and his growing disillusionment with the war, but his ultimate pride in having served. The interview was conducted by the Mesa County Oral History Project, a collaboration of Mesa County Libraries and the Museums of Western Colorado.
