Jimmie D. Cockerham TSgt USAF (Retired) Nickname: Boomer Education: Riverside Elementary, Birdville Elementary, R. Vickery Elementary, Ft. Worth, TX Chamberlain Elementary, Clarendon Junior High, Clarendon, TX Alanreed High School, Alanreed, TX Quit school in tenth grade to get married (quit school twice and kinda' got behind. I was 18 when I quit and got married. The teacher was threatening to turn me over to the draft board if I didn't "straighten up".) Worked on the farm most of the time. Did a little Ranch work. Wanted to be a Cowboy until I got bucked off a horse and broke my arm, at age 15. Quit school at age 16 and left home to find my fortune. Worked a while as a Laborer, got hungry and decided to go back home and get some more schooling. After getting married, went to California, worked a little in the oil patch, got homesick for my 16 year old bride and came back home. Drove a truck for awhile, worked on an oil pipeline and in a cement plant. Got tired of being broke and not being able to support my wife properly, so I did the smartest thing I ever did in my life. I joined the Air Force. Got an eleven week vacation at Lackland, Flight 264, 3702 BMTS. A3C Loop and A2C Cook were my TI's. Went to Lowery AFB and attended 21 weeks of school on the K Series Bomb/Navigation System from May until November 1954. Also took my high school GED and passed it and then took the college level GED and passed it also. (Surprised the hell out me, too). Got assigned to the 4924th A&E maintenance Squadron, 4925th Test Group (Atomic) Kirtland AFB, NM. Returned to Lowery to go to school for twenty two weeks on Optics and Stabilization systems. (Bombsights and gyro platforms with a little compass stuff thrown in.). Worked on the B 36, B 47, and B 52s. Was assigned as in flight technician on the B 47 and B 52 in 1959. Was among the first to receive pro pay. Got P 2 when it came out. Got back from a mission one day on a B 52, put up my flight gear, checked in at the shop and was informed that I was busted for "lack of proficiency" to a three level. Pissed off some flight crews cause they liked the job I was doing for them but wasn't much they could do to help. I was told I could take a reduction in rank commensurate to my skill level or cross train and regain a five level in six weeks. Went to AGE in FMS, got my five level in less than the required time, went to school at Chanute, came back, tested and got my seven level, and was put in charge of the Repair Section of AGE, with about twenty five guys working for me. Volunteered to cross train into munitions in 1965. Went back to Lowery for Munitions School and was soon on my way to Okinawa, 400 MMS, NCOIC Classified Conventional Munitions Maintenance Shop. Went from there to Charleston AFB, AGE 437 FMS. July 1967. Was in hospital from late July until October 1967. Sent TDY as Ammo in March 1968 until May 1968 to Korea (Kunsan and Taegu). Clearing in from TDY and was handed orders for Korat, Thailand. Was there from July 1968 until Aug 1969. 388MMS, NCOIC Fuse and Component Shop. Reassigned to 23rdTFW at McConnell AFB, Munitions Maintence Management, Aug 69-Feb 71. Reassigned to 12TFW,Mar 71-Oct 71. Finished my tour at Bienhoa. Arrived Mountain Home April 1972, Wing QC for Munitions. Retired May 1974. Went to school at Tarrant County Junior College for two years, recieved an Associate Degree in Applied Science, moved back to Clarendon, Texas and worked four years as Service Manager in two GM dealerships. Went to work for Mason and Hanger, Silas Mason and Company, Inc. in Aug 1980 and retired there in Jan. 1997. That's where I worked on nuclear weapons. I left out some, but I didn't want to bore you. By the way, I,m still married to that 16 year old bride. Be 49 years in June. Boomer.

Raised in Kenyon, MN. Went to Saint Olaf College and played football, graduating in 1990. Accepted into and attended the Navy Aviation Officer Candidate School, graduating in December 1992 with a commission in the US Navy. Attended flight school in NAS Pensacola graduating in the Summer of 1994 having accepted orders to NAS Whidbey Island to fly the EA-6B. After completing initial training in the EA-6B, was assigned to Air Wing 14 aboard the USS Carl Vinson on a Western Pacific deployment in the Spring of 1996 flying sorties in the No-fly zone and participating in Operation DESERT STRIKE, which took out strategic positions and raised the no fly zone another 60 miles to the north. After returning from that depoyment Air Wing 14 was moved to the USS Abraham Lincoln where we completed another deployment in the Spring of 1998 supporting further strikes in retaliation for terrorist actions. After an initial extension to support the War in Kosovo, was ordered to VAQ-129 to perform Instructor Duty for new aircrew flying the EA-6B. Completing 11 carrier qualification detachments and many other detachments to NAF El Centro, was selected for the EA-6B Weapon School Instructor Course, modelled after the Fighter community "Top Gun" training syllabus. After completing the training was sent to VAQ-209 in NAF Washington on Andrews AFB. While attached to VAQ-209, completed a deployment to Incirlik, Turkey to fly in support of the Northern No-fly zone completing strikes in support of the Kurds. In 2004 was sent to the staff of CENTRAL COMMAND as the Electronic Warfare Officer, spending time in Baghdad's Camp Victory and in MacDill, Fla. Upon completion of the CENTCOM staff tour was sent on a deployment to Iwakuni, Japan in support of the PACOM theater, and then a follow-on deployment to Al Asad, Iraq flying combat missions in support of the global war on terror. Prior to that deployment, was selected for duty with the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command as the only family member to take part in a mission to search for the remains of his father, CAPT Ben Danielson, member of the 558th TFS of the 12 TFW. On the trip to Mu Gia pass, Laos, spent 45 days digging and performing serach operations to complete case 1535. While this trip was unsuccessful, concurrent operations had turned over enough evidence to complete the case. In the summer of 2007, a fitting tribute was given to Major Danielson, which was attended by all ranks and members of the 12th TFW, and over 1,500 concerned patriots. It was a day to be remembered.
At this time, I am stationed back in NAS Whidbey Island performing Instructor Duty for new aircrew flying the EA-6B. I have over 2,850 total hours of flight time flying in the F/A-18, F-14, and the F-4 Phantom, with over 2,700 hours and 600 carrier landings in the EA-6B. I have a lovely wife Pam and three great kids, Ben (12), Will (8), and Jennifer (5). Awards are a few Air Medals, Navy Commendation Medal, a few Navy Achievement medals, and other individual and unit awards.

Weapons Loading Standardization Crew
Trained and certified as the 2 man on weapons load crews at Holloman and Vietnam. In Thailand, worked in the preload area for 8 months, then finished tour
as a load crew chief. I was a 2 man on the Standardization Crew. The 2 man was responsible for setting up switches for electrical functional checks,
helping prep fuses, loading weapons onto aircraft, etc. As a member of the Standardization Crew, I was responsible for maintaining/updating Tech Orders
pertaining to the aircraft we worked on.
As a member of the AF Reserves, I was part of a squadron responsible for loading cargo on cargo aircraft. Got my first trip to Hawaii during our 2 week active
duty training period.
Some memories of my military time:
While going through mobility exercises at Holloman, was given a yellow fever
Shot which made me extremely sick for about 48 hours. Never ever had another
Experience like that again.
In Vietnam, became very proficient and efficient at getting weapons onto aircraft.
I remember rice bugs flying around and causing one a big headache if you got hit
There by one. Spent lots of off time recording music to my reel-to-reel. Tried to
Take pictures as much as I could, but wound up with way fewer pix than I would
Have liked. Of course, we didn’t have digital cameras back then either.
At Nellis, I was introduced to a young lady on a blind date whom I married after
Knowing her for only 3 months. We are still married and this year will celebrate
39 years together. We have 4 boys and 10 grandchildren, 4 boys and 6 girls.
Made SSgt my first hitch, but never attained any higher rank. My training instructor in tech school would "promote" me to major if I did well on
my switch logy, or bust me to corporal if I screwed up. He must have been ex-Army.
I remember helping load guided bombs when they were being tested at Nellis. Details are fuzzy, but I do remember working with them.
Civilian experience:
Been working as a staff pharmacist as well as a pharmacy manager for a regional
Discount store for the last 19 years. Sometimes the job is great, sometimes I wish
Was retired…. :-)
Loni and I have enjoyed traveling to Hawaii, we’ve been there several times. A couple of them were with my youngest son, Paul, who is a pastor.
We have also been to Israel once, which was a great experience, and have been to San Antonio to visit our son, Paul, and his family.
