Ernest joined the Air Force in April 1958 where he proudly served his country during the Vietnam War rising to the Rank of Master Sargent. While serving in the military across the world, his last assignment was at the Pentagon in Washington DC. There he managed the computer operations for the most complex systems. He retired from the United States Air Force after completing 23 years of active duty. Following his retirement he returned to his Seaside home on the Monterey Peninsula. It was there that he proudly assisted his mother until her death. They both enjoyed playing card games together and he was always ready to play anyone a good game of chess.
