Accused BTK serial killer Dennis Rader earned a good conduct medal while in the U.S. Air Force and was sent to bases throughout the United States and overseas.

Military records obtained by The Associated Press show Rader
served as an active duty airman in the Air Force from August 1966
to August 1970. His reserve service ran to June 1972.

Ursula Soto of the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis said Rader did well in the military, and that his service was "clean cut.''

The 60-year-old Rader, of Park City, is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder in a series of killings from 1974 to 1991 in the Wichita area.

He reached the rank of sergeant and was awarded the Air Force
Good Conduct Medal, the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon and
the National Defense Service Medal.
