Comments: Great site! I will be interested in getting the whole set of books. I was in from 1971 to 1974. I was a 292x2 later changed to 207x2. My first tour was at Clarke AB in the PI. It was supposed to be 15 months but I left early for a tdy en route to Fort Devins on the way to Misawa japan. I picked up a Y prefix at Devins and spent 15 months in Japan working the TRP at Misawa before getting out early to return to school as Viet Nam was winding down and they didn't need us anymore. Tnx Jim

Comments: I congratulate Larry for doing an outstanding job of research, interviews and putting all the facts together in the volumes of Freedom Through Vigilance. It tells the story that many of us could not speak about and shows how important the people were that made up the "Command". Having been in the command from 1956 to 1978 (enlisted) and 1983 to 2005 (civil service) I am deeply proud of the efforts and accomplishments that were undertaken by our personnel. Too the many of you that have been "inside the fence". "on the fly" and "behind the door" -- congratulations for a job well done.
