We boots got to clean up the base after. USAF was doing 4 weeks at Lackland and the rest of boot at one's school base. Did 6 days a week school in "accelerated cannon fodder" of that time when bodies were needed over yonder. I left Keesler in July of '66 and ended up in Vietnam in '68. Telecom kind of guy and figured to sit at Bien Hoa and play radio but USAF loaned me to the USArmy for the duration. Stuff happens. Did my time at Plantation Combat Base with a week off in Sydney. Came home alive so all is well.Crankyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06336155365600675130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-87927546457803977532007-08-23T13:33:00.000-04:002007-08-23T13:33:00.000-04:00DIVA and DIXIE - wonderful to have you both stop b...DIVA and DIXIE - wonderful to have you both stop by...letting me know that local folk like me too!fuzzbert_1999@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523386203834736598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-31567733613327386022007-08-23T12:29:00.000-04:002007-08-23T12:29:00.000-04:00Found you via Sarge Charlies... don't have much ti...Found you via Sarge Charlies... don't have much time to read today as I'm at work but all I can say is<BR/><BR/>Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top<BR/>Down in the Tennessee hills<BR/>Aint' no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top<BR/>Ain't no telephone bills<BR/><BR/>Once I had a girl on Rocky Top<BR/>Half bear, other half cat<BR/>Wild as a mink,<BR/>but sweet as soda pop <BR/>I still dream about that.<BR/><BR/>Rocky Top you'll always be <BR/>Home sweet home to me<BR/>Good ol' Rocky Top ...

They had a nice golf course at Kessler that I played a few years back. One of the fairways paralelled a runway where C-5's were taking off.

So many young men in my class went to Viet Nam. I went to HS in a large metropolitan area so we lost several. I married during spring vacation of my senior year and my husband stayed ahead of the draft. He wanted to sign up but I was the millstone around his neck. He became an alcoholic instead...<BR/>I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your story. And last, but NOT least, thank you for your service!!!<BR/>~~~Blessings~~~Amazing Graciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788890988002911896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-22038949666203315162007-08-23T00:24:00.000-04:002007-08-23T00:24:00.000-04:00Mushy,Another great post in a series that will be ...Mushy,<BR/><BR/>Another great post in a series that will be a reference point for many serious chroniclers.<BR/><BR/>You tell not just the tale, you tell the era, you tell the culture, you tell the WDP - whole darn picture.<BR/><BR/>Love ya style<BR/><BR/>Daviddavid mcmahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009095220051075552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16443701.post-54768874790909131492007-08-22T17:07:00.000-04:002007-08-22T17:07:00.000-04:00I forgot to tell you to post the award on your sit...I forgot to tell you to post the award on your site and present it to two people of your choice.
