Customs and the U.S. Coast Guard on counter-drug missions out of Panama and the CONUS United States. While in the Air Force, Clint was able to visit 21 countries and 41 different states. Clint's desire to be a police officer was greater than staying in the Air Force and he began to look at opportunies in law enforcement.
