Rankel, Richard
Cpl. Richard A.Rankel 1994-1998
Crash Crew MCAS-YUMA 1996-1998
I am currently in the Texas Air National Guard 147FighterWing located at
Ellington Field Houston, Tx. I am still in Crash Crew, but for the Air
Force Reserves. The Corps gave me a skill that I will always treasure and
that would be fire fighting. If you were in Yuma anytime I was there please
e-mail.
I served in Crash Crew at the bottmless pit of the Arizona Desert MCAS Yuma, Az 1996-1998. After leaving the Corps, I joined the Texas Air National Guard in 1999. I am attached to the 147th Fighterwing/ Ellington Fire Dept. (Crash Crew). I enjoyed crash crew so much that I did not want to get out of the field all together. I also volunteer for the Spring Fire Dept. in my own hometown. I plan on staying with Ellington Fire Dept. for the long haul of 20-30 years, for my military retirement. Yuma was not that bad of an experince in my life. The Corps gave me a skill that I love to do everyday and night-- Fight Fire.
