Boy in the Trash Can: Recent Episodes
T Spike! Terwilliger, Ed.D.
The story about a boy thrown away at birth in Korea and rescued at the brink of death -- and his journey through life. The podcast explores Dr Terwilliger's humorous experiences on the farm, life in the Air Force, funny stories, travels around the world, and learning to cope with a disability that impacted his life. Join me on this journey and the twists and turns of life through the lens of a gay Asian American who lived the American dream. There will be lots of laughs, perhaps a tear; and mostly adventure! (Amazing cover art by artist Ken Bryson; intro/exit music by Markus Terwilliger). Boy In the Trash Can is a production of CSJ Associates and is dedicated to Barbara Holton Terwilliger

#74 - So Long USAF & Hope this Condo Sells! After 28 years in the Air Force, the adventure comes to an end, alas, not without a hiccup. Moving from the military and the labyrinth that is the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a challenge. Next is looking at options if I decide to work in a post-retirement world and that is an adventure all to itself. Finally, the last condo is sold just a few days before the mortgage is due and that was just plain lucky! I come up with a creative way to make the sale.

The day comes when it's time to walk out of the building for the last time, and I'm on the way to Washington, DC.

#56 - You're in Texas NOW, The Major, & Let's do Lunch. This episode has a little about the differing styles of leadership of the cadet wing commanders and a story or two of my interactions with "the law." I get promoted to major and that becomes helpful in working through the labyrinth of getting academic credit for the ROTC courses on the campus. I end with how I looked started to look at local businesses for clues on how their company was performing in the markets.

This episode is dedicated to Dr Hans Mark, who was a luminary at UT and who was truly not just a supporter of the program; he was someone who I enjoyed meeting and who became a great mentor.

#46 - Finally - Ed.D.; First AF-wide Project; DADT Law. This episode starts with a couple of lost stories; finally commencement from William & Mary; and a sad family loss. At work, my first Air Force-wide project is launched and I meet the Air Force Chief of Staff! In 1993, (wow, 30 years ago) the Don't Ask - Don't Tell law comes into play with experiencing meetings that revealed, in many way, a lack of understanding of LGBT service members.

#45 - U.S. vs T.H.E.M. & Dissertation Defended! This episode has me getting settled into my new place in Northern Virginia; shares experiences making policy alongside the other military services and new personnel with familiar faces! The dissertation gets defended at William & Mary finishing that achievement. These episodes share both the challenges and projects that impact the entire Air Force as well as other components of DoD. Looking back, it was certainly rewarding to make an impact in such a definitive way.

#40 - AAPI, Some Trips, and Desert Storm. This episode starts with some thoughts on my perspective of Asian American Pacific Islander Month; the continuation of the busy activities with so much going on and then, add to that the launch of Desert Storm when Iraq invaded Kuwait. It was both a learning period as well as the building of experiences in policy making and Air Force organizational development.
We added another country and state; up to 30 countries; 41 states; across 354 cities!

#39 - Is it W&M?; Big Air Force Changes! This episode continues my time at Langley AFB and some changes in the Air Force with a birds-eye view. At nearly the same time, HQ TAC is engaged with the merger of MWR and Services career fields, the creation of Air Combat Command (ACC) by combining TAC, Strategic Air Command (SAC), and parts of Military Airlift Command (MAC); along with the second round of BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) affecting some TAC bases. My branch is in the middle of all of this while at the same time, I make my decision on where to go to post-graduate school! It’s a busy time!

#38 - Leadership Lessons & Asian American Challenges: This episode starts my new assignment at Langley AFB in earnest. Quickly learning some leadership lessons and impacting policy were first takes. Being back in the US after two years in Korea also raised renewed bias as an Asian American and continued to shape my views of why these perspectives existed. We also have some fun at work!

Golf Tourney Win & Off to Osan AB, Korea: As I leave Randolph AFB, I win the Tom Terrific Golf Tourney and pack up to leave my first assignment.

The new job was both challenging and rewarding. This episode provides a foundation for the next couple and my first impressions of where I was born.

Plane Crash, Playing Banker, & Big Award! This episode has so many events! We continue my first assignment at Randolph and how I depended on friends. MWR is responsible for both programs and activities across the entire base population; also has the exciting role in major base-wide entertaining events, so there are lots of adventures. In addition, there is more purple rain as well. Yet, even more rainbows with more recognition and awards in that first year! I continue to have amazing mentors and leaders in my career, some of which are emphasized for others.

Name Change & General, Was That YOUR Foot? This episode has me learning about my new job and responsibilities. I change my name for the fourth and fifth time, make some great friends, and some lieutenant antics.
This is the start of what will become not only the greatest career of my life; it would provide opportunities that I would never have had the chance to experience had I not returned to the Air Force.

#25 - Officer Training School. This episode sadly speaks to a baby thrown in a dumpster. Unlike me, it was not along time ago in a land far away. It was in the US, a week ago. The baby was found alive, though critical. Then, this episode takes me back into the Air Force and a second career as I embark on Officer Training School. A couple of antics and some help on the firing range. It's the start to my second career that would take me to both challenging and rewarding adventure.

#21 - With Love to Barbara Ann Holton Terwilliger, 1935-1983. 1983 was a major year in my life. So many rainbows and three purple rain, rather thunderstorms. It was one of the most turbulent year of my adult life. I leave the Air Force, loose my grandfather and Mom, and earn the first three academic degrees.
Come on the journey to see how my life is turned upside down, and then we will explore the next chapters together.
This episode is dedicated to everyone I note in the podcast because each had a profound impact on how things turned out for me.
This is the last episode for 2022 - and I'll be back in 2023! Have a wonderful holiday season and see you all in January!

#18 - Air Force Supervision & Chicken Head Soup! This episode will explore my experiences at Langley, more time at Pizza Hut, and starting school. That is a whirlwind to be sure! Being a new supervisor has its challenges, new food experiences and how much college can I test out of?
I’m dedicating this episode to MSgt Tommy Campbell. As the dining facility supervisor, he took me under his wing and gave me an early supervisory position that propelled me further into more leadership positions and I learned a lot from him.

17 - So Long Nellis - Hello Langley! This week is a day early and I first send my American listeners a hearty Happy Thanksgiving Day and to others, a happy festival holiday according to your national celebrations of thanks! This week’s episode is a little shorter and we’ll be back to normal next week!

#ST 9 - Penguins and Wine and the Beach! This week’s Short Take finishes up my visits to Australia and this week, of my trip to Melbourne. Featured is Brighton Beach, the Little Penguins, and Yarra Valley Wine Country. This was also the last trip I took before the pandemic hit in November 2019. From traveling 130,000 to 150,000 miles a year to zero has been a major change in my life. The travel tip is on tipping when outside the United States.

#16 - Robbed at Gunpoint! & A General Visits! Welcome to Episode 16. This episode marks the 3 month anniversary. As we continue my time at RED HORSE, and my experience in my new job learning mobility and logistics planning. I meet a general officer for the first time and learn that I cannot change the oil in my car! Some troubling events at Pizza Hut brought more purple rain. Seems I was like a magnet to unique, or more appropriately described as life changing events!
Thank you to retired SMSgt John H. Miller, III for being my special guest this week. You know him through last week's podcast and you'll also see, through his words, how truly special he is. In addition to his career in the Air Force, he also is retiring soon from a full career with the US Navy as a contracting officer, culminating a lifetime in public service.
With your help, we can get to 1000 downloads by Thanksgiving. We are close - just over 100 needed!

In addition to sharing my journal, it will also give you a perspective of how military training was in the 1970s for a fairly naive farm boy from rural New York.

Short Takes are a short addition to the regular podcast on exploring the world. I’ve travelled to 49 of the 50 US states and 18% of the world and thought I would integrate a shorter episode each week to add to the podcast. Short Takes will generally be posted on the weekends with the regular episodes on the current schedule.
This first one is about learning Korean and getting around.

Chickens and Rabbits and Goats, OH MY! This episode continues the story about how our backyard was transformed into a hobby farm, the addition of rabbits and dairy goats to our flock of chickens, and a few more of our experiences as a family. With these additions, the family could rely less on stores for grocery items and at the same time, the growth would result in a move to a real farm.
The episode is dedicated to my siblings, who shared in these experiences, grew and learned together, and shared in the love that bonded the family.
