Bruce McKenty attended college at Texas A&M University with the goal of obtaining a commission in the United States Army. He would graduate in 1970 and was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Field Artillery.
Upon Bruce’s entry onto active duty he completed his Officer Basic Course at Fort Sill, OK and went on to flight school in route to his first assignment – Vietnam, where he was assigned to F Troop, 1/9th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division at Bien Hoa as an AH-1G Cobra attack helicopter pilot.
During his tour he was wounded twice and has the unique distinction of being one of a small handful of Army helicopter pilots who survived being shot down with an SA-7 heat seeking missile.
Bruce went on to spend 21 years in the Army serving in various command and staff assignments in Field Artillery and Aviation, and retired in 1991 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
