He completed more than 400 combat missions as a FAC, first for the 173rd Airborne Brigade flying O-1 aircraft and then flying F-100s for the MISTY Fast FACS flying over North Vietnam. He was awarded more than 30 combat awards including two Silver Stars, two DFCs, two purple hearts, two bronze stars for valor, a Presidential Unit citation, POW medal, 20 air medals and numerous other medals. He was shot down twice and captured the second time, on December 20, 1967.

Jim Mack. Captain James E. Mack was born in Viola, Illinois in 1940 and graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He graduated from pilot training at Vance AFB, Oklahoma in 1963 and was assigned to Perrin AFB, Texas for Fighter Interceptor Training flying the F-102. His next assignment was to Tyndall AFB, Florida for F-101 checkout with a follow-on assignment to Lockbourne AFB, Ohio in 1964. In 1965, Captain Mack volunteered for Vietnam. After completing training in the F-100 and SAW O-1, he was assigned as a Forward Air Controller in 1967 working with the Special Operations Group at Kontum, Vietnam supporting missions in Laos. He was later re-assigned to the 25th Infantry Division at CuChi, Vietnam as a Forward Air Controller. Following his assignment there, Mack was assigned to PhanRang, Vietnam as an F-100D pilot and then quickly moved to PhuCat, Vietnam to fly Commando Saber F-100D/F Fast FAC operations, operating over North Vietnam. It was on this assignment that Captain Mack supported the operation to rescue Captain Sijan after Sijan had ejected from his F-4. In 1968, he returned to the U.S., stationed at Suffolk County AFB, New York as a F-101 pilot. In 1969, Captain Mack decided to leave the Air Force and flew commercially for several airlines from 1969 to 1999.

22 Making the most of NCLS The ARDA Model We would like to offer this process model as a framework for listening, reflecting, and applying what you hear at NCLS. This model identifies how we engage with the world as potential leaders and people of character. We can expand these capacities, and better recognize, reason, decide and act in the face of competing interests and influences.
