Randi Rhodes, the popular daytime host, is a veteran of the Air Force...

About a week ago I read something on FR regarding her joining a reserve unit, attending one drill, and then never going back. I do not know if she served any active duty time. Do any freepers have the lowdown on the military service of this seditious little lush?

Military career
Rhodes enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1977 and worked stateside as a mechanic in Texas, achieving the rank of Airman First Class. She left the Air Force early and relocated to Ohio, where she participated in a program called Palace Chase to release her to the reserves and honorably discharge her. Although she left active duty before her contract was up, she still received an honorable discharge after completing the program


It sounds like she wasn’t very gung-ho or very good, but she is legal and a veteran. Odd that I have been unable to find the date of her discharge.

During the Carter years, there was a lot of mushy flexibility in the military and she may have a worse record than shows officially, but bottom line is that she appears able to claim full legal recognition as a veteran of the Air Force.

By veteran of the Air Force, she meant she had spent four years hanging out by the fence of the air base.

Cheap Trick isn’t just the name of a band.
