We were only allowed 15 minutes downtime before they shut down the airfields. Up to 17 of them. I also repaired a couple RADAR systems when they were short on techs. The only thing that was inflated on a chopper were the pilots. ;-) Were there girl pilots flying choppers when you were there? You don't want to dis your girlfriend if she pilots an Apache. ^_^ This was the early '70s and they were training medivac pilots for Vietnam, so there were no female pilots at the time.

There's been a story about a football player who was accused of rape a year after it allegedly occurred only after his accuser found out he may wind up making lots of money playing professional ball. No, I'm not a football fan. ^_^ TDD |

The TV station I was to work at was over run about two weeks after I would have arrived, and it's very likely I wouldn't be here since most of the staff was killed. I got what was left of a 5 KW Gates VHF TV transmitter for parts at the station in Alaska. I had several underage girls try to trick me into bed while stationed at Ft. Rucker. They used a lot of makeup, and some guys fell for it. The worst part was that their families were making them prostitute themselves because the parent or parents were too lazy to work. Some of the girls were just 13. A couple of the other soldiers kept track of who they were, and warned you they were minors. Still, a lot of guys were screwed out of half of their pay, until they retired or didn't re-enlist. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge. |

I roamed there as GS-12~13 military civie doing C&I and later M&O work for VHF, UHF, Troposcatter radio comm network, Copper lines were only used within the perimeter of bases. Every thing else was tactical/strategical radio. One extra thing I did was looking after VOA relay station in PHu Bai, South of Hue. The station was built on a tiny island in the middle of man made lake accessed only by heavily gated causeway. Nearby also 8th RRFS was station. All under ground except huge antenna farm covering stretch of field. I moved up/down the country frequently from Con Son Island upto DMZ(I was at Dong Ha, Khe san just before USMC was under heavy siege by 'Cong/NVA. After 3 years, I took a R&R, then ordered to show up at Iran or Libya. But I heard those places were worse than 'Nam, so I quit and got married. Wife had a job lined up at Pueblo, CO, my job was at Vancouver, BC(with ITT) When we decided on Canada, I started with Honeywell on computer side(data comm)I was hired by 304th LL Bn under 8th Army in Korea as GS-9. That was half a century ago. Time really flies. Now empty nester. Two kids, one is MD, one is PE, one grand son, 3 yrs old in Victoria, BC. We are in Calgary which is getting too big too fast due to good economic conditions. Between '12-'13 we gained 60,000 in population. |

Glad that the spread of communism was slowed, for a while. A wise writer once wrote "thou shalt not commit adultery".
