We both graduated with WORWAC Class 66-9.
I heard rumors that he was assigned to Ft. Eustis, VA either as a test pilot or to become a test
pilot after his DEROS in '67 but I can't confirm any of that.

My father left Ft. Eustis VA when I was 6. (1972). Stationed in Tomball TX. After being wriffed
back to WO1, he left service and died after being hit by a Trailways Bus in Jacksonville FL in
1981. Survived by 3 sons: Robert W Adamson IV, Richard E Adamson, & Raymond S Adamson. I
didn't know much about my father since I was young when he died. Would appreciate any info that
anyone may have on his military career in Vietnam. He became mentally ill around 1975 and don't
know much of his service history. I would like some service history if you know it.
My father died on July 12 1981. Buried at Hillcrest cemetery in Haughton Louisiana.
