Information about my assignment at the National Security Agency, Fort George G. Meade, Maryland
This was Jennie's and my first assignment together
I was assigned to the 6972nd Support Squadron from the 6914th RSM and arrived in November 1958.  This was probably the most miserable assignment I had in 20 years with the USAFSS.  I was a married E-4 and our payroll was handled by Andrews AFB.  Jennie and I had a 31 ft house trailer and lived in a trailer park in Severn, Maryland.  The payment on the trailer was about $65 a month and it cost us about $25 a month to park it. Additonally, we had a car payment of $25 a month.  To top it off, Jennie became pregnant.  In the mean time, I was drawing $35 twice a month for pay and I should have been drawing at least double that.  Thank the lord for Jennie's allotment check.  Needless to say,  I volunteered to return overseas as soon as possible and we were transferred to the 6911th RGM in June 1959. 
At least one thing good happened during my assignment at NSA was I got promoted to Staff Sergeant on 1 June 1959.
