He proudly served his country as a member of the US Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller until he retired in 1978. He then began a second career with the FAA Flight Service until his retirement from the FAA in 1995. During his military service, Jerry was stationed at Mountain Home Air Force Base and fell in love with Idaho for all the outdoor opportunities it offers.
