Manifestations of Apprehension

William A. Cimino

Description

U.S. Air Force Navigator turns failure into success as the war in Vietnam comes to a close, and surviellance technologies advance.
Manifestations of Apprehension is a phrase that haunted Cimino but, ironically, became the key driver that enabled him to convert his "failure" into positive outcomes, each time gaining confidence and notable achievements. After a troubling and depressing military career start, Cimino maximized the support from others, and his determination to change his course enabled him to navigate each subsequent assignment with greater success. Cimino emphasizes that under achievements can be the seeds of opportunity and catalysts to achieving better results. His journey through aircrew training and operations in tactical reconnaissance, as an Air Force Navigator Instructor, working with the Canadian Forces, in the Headquarters Air Staff at the Pentagon, and with the Intelligence Community, where he managed the exploitation of products from some of the country's most sophisticated satellites, describes a path of devotion to mission and accomplishments. The memoir includes many stories - some funny, some heartwarming, and those containing sad moments during his military service. The Special Tributes section highlights his deep appreciation and respect for friends and family who have served in the military, who are gone but not forgotten.
