cat…

selfless commitment to his country. His supervisors, nearing

Darren’s final recognition remains a legacy to the career he
gave. With the advent of the CPMS database, Deployment
Support database, and the Bare Base Model, Darren’s name will live on into the future of the Air
Force yet to come…
![Page 81: Born 19 Aug 1964](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56815166550346895dbf93da/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Just how to pigeon hole this stuff is yet to be discovered. But I’m sure the Air Force will
come up with some method…

So in conclusion it may be said that Darren’s instructors were right. Darren didn’t amount to
much, however his career
speaks for itself.
