Back to Brooks: Tech School Memories and Life 29 Years Later

In this episode of Between the Lines, author Jeanette Huffman reconnects with an old friend from nearly three decades ago, back when they were wide-eyed Air Force trainees at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio. Together, they look back on the nerves and excitement of Tech School—dorm life, military training leaders, and the friendships that carried them through those first months away from home.Now, almost 29 years later, they reflect on how those early Air Force days shaped the paths they would follow. From laughter-filled bus rides to the hard lessons of discipline and resilience, this candid conversation bridges the gap between who they were then and the lives they lead today.
