Schreck did not get the option, though, as he was in a critical career field, and the Air Force would not allow him to opt out of his corn-m- i tmenL "I had no regrets. I pretty much made that decision when I went to the academy." he said. I wanted the opportunity to become an officer and serve, but I would have welcomed the opportunity to continue to play football as well Since the Air Force needed engineers, I didn't expect to be released from my commitment, and I knew that going in." The military career spawned from that decision has brought a share of victories and conflicts as great, but perhaps more long lasting, than his college games against future NFL stars such as Eric Dan Marino, Steve Young and Roger Craig. Schreck said that one of his most interesting assignments was his time at the White House Communications Agency. "Never in my imagination growing up in Iowa did I ever think I'd at least withsomeday be able to walk through the White House out Secret Service agents throwing me on the ground," he said. "WHCA was a great experience one I never would have experienced outside the Air Force." Schreck's goals and priorities have taken him through 18 years of a military career so far. Occasionally, he wonders if he might have become a professional athlete. "Everybody speculates on what could have been if they had made different choices," he said. "However, every time I think 'what if.' I remember that I've had a great time in the Air Force. I've truly enjoyed the jobs I've held and the great people I've met When I look back, I'm very satisfied with where I've been and the blessings I've received. But I try not to look back too often the future is in front of us all." six-figu- re by Tech Sgl Andrew Gates OPEN 5PM, TUESDAY- - SATURDAY Jan.
