I was on a SAC base as well, worked in AMS in the Comm/Nav/Doppler shop. Had some good times in the military, was proud to serve and enjoyed my time, for the most part.
I am so thankful to the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice, no braver men or women on earth than those that gave it all for their country!

[joe_1152]

USMC 77-85

[1972chaos]

3 years NYARNG then 2 years Army active. Between 90-95.
never found a safe playmate

[Realist]

US Army '59-'62 Regensburg Germany and Fort Knox, Ky.

USAF '63-'67. Langley AFB, Virginia...best vacation I ever had!

The only time I ever got shot at, was while stealing Watermelons, at 16 years old!

I was exceedingly lucky, through 7 years of service as a mechanic in both services. Some friends never made it back from Vietnam, or returned as shells of their former selves. God bless them for all they gave...…. for little pay, benefits, or appreciation!

I think the bravest guys I ever knew were medics and the pilots who fly in harm's way, to save others!

FOR BITY ME: At Langley AFB, there was a sign that had been covertly placed in a chopper hangar, supposedly by fighter pilots...it read....

An aircraft, with wings that are faster than the fuselage, is a helicopter, therefore unsafe!

I'm sure you've hear that before!

USAF 83-88

[Long Duck Dong]

I served in the RNZAF Royal New zealand armed forces in the 90s, sergeant and served overseas in a capacity I can not go into because of confidentiality
step father was victor 6 company in vietnam, grandfather was NZ 23rd battalion on ww2

Every day, I am thankful for those that served, and those that waited at home with open arms... I mourn those that did not come home and cry beside those that will always have empty arms....

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest we forget
