He enlisted in the United States Air Force during the Korean War Era, serving from 1950 to 1954. After completion of his military tour of duty, twenty-seven years of Lloyd's subsequent career also involved service of his country, first with the Department of Veteran's Affairs, where his duties included being Administrative Officer of the Day (AOD), and then with the U.S. Postal Service.
