Most memorable Air Force experience: It's hard to choose the "most" memorable experience, but here is one that comes to mind. Early in 2006, I was tasked to assist an Accident Investigation Board for a C-5B mishap at Dover AFB. I removed multiple Instrument Computer Components from the aircraft, which were processed for interrogation into the cause of the mishap. It was interesting to see how the Accident Investigation Board process worked first hand.
