After graduation, Glenn trained in Signals Intelligence at Goodfellow AFB, Texas. First assigned to Clark AB, Republic of Philippines, where he commanded over 100 enlisted men in a highly classified mission, Glenn returned to Goodfellow as commander for one, and at times, two, Student Squadrons. Choosing Alaska over Thailand so he could take his new wife, Glenn left the National Security Agency's fiefdom for Joint Headquarters, Alaskan Command, where he briefed the commanding general and his staff about the global intelligence situation. In 1973, upon completing his Air Force commitment, Glenn kindled his authorial ambitions, but soon found family responsibilities drove him toward the computer industry where he could write and make good money. In the Information Technology (IT) business, Glenn had varied experiences, from the startups to the big-time one that fizzled. Glenn did work 15 years at Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). He now works freelance developing business-administration software applications which allows him to persue his passion as a writer.

Spring-boarding from early successes that got set aside during his IT career, Glenn is now focusing time, skill, & talent on making a name for his writing and a "platform" for selling it to the world; see the picture below of him working the dealer table for the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) at Denvention3, last year's World Science-Fiction Convention. Currently, his stories are appearing in anthologies (for examples, see Apex Magazine Vol 3 Issue 1& Mystic Signals 2 covers below).

Glenn and wife, Jeannie, each brought two kids into the marriage and all four now lead their own lives, see the photos below:

Looking Back on USAFA:

1. What did the Academy mean to you?

Initially, following in my father's (WWII mustang fighter-pilot) footsteps, then a chance to become an astronaut (foiled by deficient color vision), but the international exposure, scale, and professionalism topped everything I had done in my life till then. As an Academy graduate, I walked among the best men my Country could put into the world.

2. What are some life lessons learned that you could share with the rest of the class?

•The mission takes precedence and those who perform the mission, officers or enlisted, formally educated or self-taught, brown, white, or green, deserve everyone else's support; and you know what, civilian organizations come with mission too, whether their employees understand it or not.
• Don't waste your talent. Talent (God-given) without skills (self-applied) doesn't cut it.
• I would not rather be lucky than good, but good sure can benefit from luck.
