THE WAY IT WAS
SSgt Robert W. Johnsen
The Story Of An Air Force Military Training Instructor


Before there were Black Straps. Before there were Blue Ropes. There was SSgt Johnsen. This is an article that appeared in Airman Magazine, August 1963. "Gentlemen, I'm your MTI"
We were all amazed and excited to find that one of the displays in the BMT Reception Center featured SMSgt (ret) Bob Johnsen's 1963 AIRMAN Magazine story called 'Gentlemen I'm Your MTI"
