USAFSS 292x2 71-75

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.

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.

Chinese linguist training at IFEL 1961-1962. Airborne training at Goodfellow AFB. Survival training at Stead AFB prior to overseas assignment. Orders cut to Kadena, waited a week for new orders to 6988th at Yokota where I reenlisted and extended for a year. Assigned to 6949th at Offutt where I was one of those sent to Edgewood for the RC-135 test flight to FL. From NB to Vietnamese training at Ft. Meade then to the 6990th. Prior to separation sent to * * * Taiwan to be trained for civilian occupation. Sure wish I had known about the chow hall at SLK! I have the two volumes on airborne operations and enjoyed them immensely.
