You may now ! i was security police,missile security,at minot.chasing jack rabbits off the sites,after they tripped the alarms.the temp was 50 to 75 BELOW zero!! Heh....we used to say the smart ones in SP got out and went to a different career field. The ones at Griffiss were sometimes pretty brain dead. huey went down one time while transporting security police to the L.F. i lost three friends that day. Oh man...I'm sorry. That's nasty. We had an incident at Griffiss that my roommate (and later Best Man) was barely involved with. Maintenance guys were checking inflation on an aircraft tire and didn't have it in the safety cage....then the tire exploded and killed 2 people....my roommate had delivered the tire to themaintenance shop.

Fred S Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Spent 27.5 active years with the US Army (1976 - 2003). 2 tours at Ft. Bragg, NC (jumped out of a few perfectly good airplanes) 1 tour in Germany (10 in years; 6 of which as an Atomic Demolition technician - a real blast!) 1 tour in S. Korea (5.5 years- customs like you've never seen!) Finally retired in 2003 and I continued my service as a government civilian, first with the Navy and now the Air Force. The Marines may have to wait! I'm having an absolute blast since getting back in Drum Corps. It's like the fountain of youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
