I was a 6948th Radio Communications Analyst during at Lackland in 1982-83. The Fighting 48th was an exciting and rewarding unit to work in. I can attest that the lingering spirit of the founders of the 48th provided inspiration to our service and our protection of the units legacy.
Training at Goodfellow AFB in 1979-80 did not provide much in the way of entertainment – not San Angelo’s strong suit – but San Vito Italy and the many tdy’s from the 48th to Alaska, Florida, Riyadh and more were rich reward for our efforts.
My dad was at Goodfellow AFB from 1966-72 He was an instructor there . Before that he was at Trabzon Turkey , Then Darmstadt Germany .In 1972 we moved to Misawa AFB Japan where dad worked on security hill . He then was stationed at Kelly AFB San Antonio but worked on Medina AFB . He was in his favorite unit then the 6948th . Though he detested blue bippy day . We then moved to Anderson AFB Guam where I believe he worked as a detachment assigned to the 3rd Air Division . If anyone remembers him please post back here or send me an email . It would really brighten his day to hear from some old friends . I am his son Art orygundewd@yahoo.com
