As a teenager he had a newspaper route delivering the Bulletin and Sunday Record, which was produced in Norwich, CT. He kept his pay stub from September 4, 1954, which he was very proud of. Albert was a busy bee also working at Wauregan Mills from September 1950 to September 1951. In November 1951 he started working for V. LaRosa & Sons Macaroni Company at the Killingly plant located on 90 Wauregan Road in Danielson, CT. It was designed to be one of the most modern macaroni factories in the world at the time, utilizing advanced automated machinery. He worked there until July 1956. At the young age of 20 he decided military life was for him after learning of the benefits he would have during active duty and in retirement. Albert joined the U.S. Air Force and headed off to boot camp at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX. July 10, 1956 was the first day of his military career that would last for 30 years. After Albert's first duty station in Greenland from December 1, 1956 to November 27, 1957, he was transferred to Westover AFB in Springfield, MA from January 16, 1958 to February 23, 1960. While stationed here, he met his future wife Chrystal S. Bousquet during the summer of 1959. They married January 16, 1960 at Sacred Heart Church in Wauregan, CT. They spent the next 26 years starting a family, raising six daughters and traveling to bases in Newfoundland Canada (Ernest Harmon AFB), Delaware (Dover AFB), Pennsylvania, serving in Vietnam from October 1967 – October 1968; was assigned to Hickam AFB in Honolulu, HI upon his return, back to Dover AFB, Lackland AFB in San Antonio, TX and then Andrews AFB in Camp Springs, MD where he served his last six years in the military. He spent his career in Air Transportation and Traffic Management retiring with the rank of CMSgt (E-9) on July 31, 1986. This was the highest non-commissioned officer rank that could be achieved.
