Chief Master Sergeant (CMSgt) Glen Pugh joined the U.S. Air Force in 1988. During his 30-year career with the Air Force, he was an Aircraft Armament Systems Specialist, a Training Instructor and a First Sergeant. As a highly trained specialist, he enjoyed working on the A-10 “Warthog” Thunderbolt II known for having teeth painted on the nose cone due to the plane’s aggressive style.
Voices of Veterans is the first Veteran oral history program undertaken by a state agency and records the stories of Texas Veterans through their time in service and after returning home from combat.
