James F. Coker was born in Thomaston, Georgia. He grew up there but left at an early age. He was in the United States Air Force S.A.C. division. This took him to a number of foreign countries when he was still at a young tender age. But running with experienced well-trained troops taught him more about life that he was even ready for. Growing, living, and working in an environment of this sort can create loads and loads of true stories. Getting to where Jim is today is but the tip of the proverbial ice berg. The following is one of those stories. Though based on a true story, some of the additives are intended to enhance the story and give it a bit of luster and a better reading.
