Comments: I was in Squadron 3724 Flight 387 BMTS at Lackland. I then attended DLIWC, Monterey, CA as a student of Czech from July 1970 to June 1971. I was at Goodfellow AFB, 6940th Security Wing, from July 1971 - Seot 1971 and completed the ALK 20331- E course. I was then stationed in Darmstadt West Germany with the 6910th Security Group as a Czech linguist from Oct 1971-Apr 1972. My last assignment was in Rimbach, West Germany with the 6910th which was combined with the USASA Augsburg FS Det N (previously Darmstadt FSDet K).
We were all young and played hard, worked hard, and made a lot of life long friends.

Comments: I was a Radio Operator on RB-29 and the Radio Operator/Right Gunner on RB50G aircraft, 6091, Yokota from Jan 1956 to Dec,1958. The only names I can remember are Captain Murphy, Pilot and "Big Al" the CFC. My radio call sign was Engage 22. On page 61 of The Price of Vigilance Mr. Tart recalls the loss of a RB-50 from my squadron on September 10, 1956. If any reader knows the name of the radio operator on that aircraft I would appreciate an email. I would like to include his name in a bio I'm putting together for my son.

Kessler then Goodfellow 6981st 72 6920th 72-74 NSA 74-75 Being 17 when I started did not realize what a contribution USAFSS had on keeping us all free, now I look back with pride on what was accomplished. Would like to hear from anyone from Meade or Trick 1 Misawa. Chased signal for 38 years when I got out working in Cable, Phone then Internet. AF training and experience was top notch. Thanks for the research and your service Larry.

Comments: VN 203 with 6990th until April 1970. Used GI money for college then received my gold bars but never returned to USAFSS. I regard flying these recon missions to be the most meaningful memories of my life.
