One slight fly in the ointment was the 2T promotion program did not apply to the support personnel. If it had, I'd have retired as a CMS instead of a MSgt. I was a 304 (Radio Maint.) and had two consecutive tours. One from the 6922nd (Clark AB) to 6950th (Chix). The other was TUSLOG Det 94-2 (Karamursel) to 6912th (Berlin). Including my last tour at GAFB when it became ATC, I spent 16 years out of 20+ in USAFSS and think there was no other command that came close. Once in the command when you went to a new unit you either knew somebody from a prior assignment or knew somebody that knew somebody. One big family is the way I describe it.

I worked with CMSGT Dick Kisling while assigned to 6960th Spt Gp and HQ USAFSS PIO. He was a great troop. I also made the acquaintance of MG Larson after I retired in 1980 when I escorted a group of civilians to HQ SAC. He was our guest speaker.
