I was in the 6925th in 61 and 62, “D” Flight. What a great time! Karamursel in 66-68…hated it, then finished up at Security Hill.

Radio school Kessler, additional training Brooks AFB, San Antonio. Shipped to 10th. Radio Squadron Mobile, RAF Chicksands (Bedford, England), then deployed with unit to DF site at RAF Edzell in Scotland for remainder of tour. Anyone out there might know?

I am looking for anyone that was stationed at Wasserkuppe mountain Germany in the 1950-60 time frame, this is extremely important as we have dedicated a monument to the Cold War veterans and need to find out if an English “Signals” unit was ever at that location…I cannot stress enough the importance of this inquiry which, hopefully, will get widest possible dissemination.

Can’t really help you out there partner, but I was there from 60 - 61. My grand daughter who is a 1st Lt. in the Air Force was in Okie just a while back and visited the old site. She said it was a great place to go snorkeling or scuba diving……….but that nothing remained that would let her know our base was there. I had showed her some photos of the Point.

Anyone out there that was at the 6950th RGM Chicksands, England 61-64

And especially on Dec 31st 1962 when they broadcast ” Merry Christmas to the 6950th RGM ” ??

Was in the 6913th in Bremerhaven from 62-65

Went home and got married on leave before reporting to Germany. I was on Able flight. So I am sure we met at some time or other……Good to hear from guys who were there at the same time I was……..

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of SSGT William (Bill) Lock.. Bill was stationed at the 6981st from 1965-1967 and worked on “D” Flt as a 292.. Prior to being stationed at the 81st he had tours to Misawa and Shymia.. RIP Bill….

I am the daughter of CMSgt Ollie W. Clark, who was part of the 6911th and was stationed in Darmstadt, Frankfurt and Iraklion Crete. I was born in Wiesbaden Germany in 1959 and I believe my dad was stationed in Darmstadt at that time. My mom says that Wiesbaden was the closet base for maternity. I don’t know his whole military career and am looking for information from anyone who might know some of the security service 6911th mobile radio squadron’s history and duties. I know he enlisted at 15 yrs old into the Army somewhere in 1947 and later was part of the formation of the USAF security service 6911th mobile radio unit. He was in Germany sometime from 1955-60 and then in San Antonio TX from 60-62 or 63; to Frankfurt from 62-63-67 and then stationed in Iraklion Crete from 67-69 returning to Darmstadt Germany in 69. IN ’69 he became illl and was sent back to the states and was on temporary disability for several years to determine his capacity to return to active duty status. He officially retired as Chief Master Sargent from the Air Force in 1974.

My dad was in the Air Force in 1957 over in Germany he was a radio intercept operator class 18066 I was just trying to see if anybody remember Ted Roblow just any any stories of him or anything that anybody could remember he recently passed away November 14th and he never spoke very much of his Air Force days

well, I finally got the VA to give me a set of hearing aids. Only took a little over a year and a half, and three separate hearing test to do it, but it is done. I was a diddy bopper and seven years and like most other 292s’ I had lost about 20% hearing. But yes I would gladly do it all again. Spent 18 months at Onna Point in Okinawa (1960 - 1961) then three years in Bremerhaven, Germany. After Bremerhaven, I went to Brooks AFB in San Antonio and from there was recruited by the NSA while on a TDY in California. What a time………..

Hi Richard,

I was stationed in Bremerhaven from 1962 - 1964 — tour cut short and I went to Laon France until 1965. While in Germany, I was a 292 on Charlie Flight. Hung out with John Spears and Tom Steck. It’s always good to hear from some of the old gang from Security Service. Take care, Richard (Dick) Beach

1961 - 1964 Chicksands, England with a break in 1962 for Special Ops to Brindisi Italy. My QSA IMI is still clicking and I ditty bopped my way across Britain.
NSA wanted me too in 64′ as a civilian Special Operative in Japan. I declined. Had had enough. Anyone out there remember the Christmas of 63′ when the Comrades sent a ” Merry Christmas ” to us all ??

Hi Bruce……….sadly I don’t remember the Merry Christmas………fill me in so my memory may come back…….and thanks

Hi Dick - We must have been there at the same time…I was on Able flight and played a little intermural football on the Mox Nix team…….my first two kids (2 or 3) were born in Bremerhaven and my last was born in San Antonio. Sad to say that my middle child, the girl that was born in Bremerhaven passed away just last month. Might be a sad Christmas but we will struggle through…Have a great and Merry Christmas…

Richard,

I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. My prayers are with you and your family. I am so glad that you have your family with you to help collectively ease the pain you all must be experiencing. May God bless you all. Merry Christmas… Dick

Remember it like it just happened. It was Christmas Eve and we were in a bunker underneath a 15th Century Monastery copying Nikita 5×5. Much of the transmission stopped for about a minute … then in perfect “press” came : ” Merry Christmas to the USAF “

Thanks for the comeback Bruce……to the best of my knowledge, or old age forgetfulness, I don’t remember us getting that traffic. But you and yours have a great Christmas and a safe new years……….Bob Barringer

Was ditty bopper at Clark AFB C Flight 6925th with 90 day TDY to Det 3 in Bangkok. 63-65. Ended my enlistment at HQ USAFSS San Antonio 65=67

DOUG SCHLOUGH, YOU WERE MY ROOMATE AT ELMENDORF WITH GEORGE FONNER

I was a ditty bopper at the 81st, A Flight, 1961-1963 before going to the 6937th in Pakistan on the 2-T program. There is a small group of us from that time that meet every other Sept. Anyone interested contact me at [email protected]

I was a 29251 and after noticing tinnitus and hearing loss I went to my Veterans Service Office. They filed a claim for me and I was granted a disability and have had hearing aids via the V.A. for years.
Having tinnitus will speed the process up! Former 6925th, NSA, Karamursel and AFSSO Wiesbaden, Germany.

The VA will grant you a permanent 10% disability and free hearing aids plus supplies; it qualifies for free medical care in many instances

I finally got my hearing aids and the 10% is accurate.

I was a 203 at 6981st from early 1968 to late 1969… Best years of my young life!

Have you checked the 6931st Facebook page.

The Air Force in 1960 was an excellent option for me at the time. Promised a shot at Officer’s Training School, I scored high on their tests but the program was full. I believe my training for ” ditty bopper ” was the next best thing. I was trained by the best and was fortunate to be so. I went to the University of Maryland European Division while serving in England at the 6950th RGM Chicksands. The Air Force was one of the best life choices and still draw upon the training I received to this day.

Lackland AFB 62′ - GAFB Non-Morse-Interc ept Operator course 63′ - then to Wakkanai 6986 SG - 64′ GAFB (Personnel) - 64′-65′ then to FT Devens for Y training - 66′- 68′ San Vito AS 6917th SG - 69′-70′ Sheppard AFB (Personnel) ETS’d - Joined Army 70′-84′ Retired in Italy.

Have had hearing issues for several years but thought too long since my USAF days to go to VA. After reading some of this going to try to get hearing aids from them USAFSS 65-69

I was given a hearing aid but I have not received any help for ringing in the years.

I graduated from Keesler AFB on May 26th, 1959 and sent to the 6925th RSM at Clark AFB, in the Phillipine Islands. Upon leaving in 1961 I was sent to the 6937th RSM in Peshawar, Pakistan and moved along with others because we were sleeping on the gymnasium floor from the time we arrived. I was assigned to the 6913th RSM in Bremerhaven, Germany until my tour ended in the summer of 1962. Would love to find pictures of barracks in all 3 locations, as well as other pics. Unfortunately, I didn’t take the time to perform this chore except on extremely few instances.

Went to Keesler early ’66, then to Hakata Japan 6918th from ’66-’68, and then 6994th at TSN Vietnam, Republic of ’68-’69, flew 127 combat missions in the old EC-47…when they asked if I wanted to re-enlist, I couldn’t stop laughing…many years later, I wished I had…it was a good life we had…6918th has a reunion every other year, and surprisingly, we still have a crowd…

I am Richard Jones Widow and he served as a radio operator in Japan in the air force… He has a cup with 6911th R.G.M Baker Flight on it also his name I had no idea what it meant so nice to find some information about that… He did Basic in Lackland then went to Keesler I know that… He was honorably discharged in The late 60s we were married in 1961. I wish I had asked him about this cup and what it meant…

My late husband Richard Jones has a cup with 6911th R>G>M Baker Flight on it I know he did basic in Lackland and then went on to Keesler before going to Japan…. We Married in Dec 1961 after he was discharged… I know he was a radio operator… I found this to be so interesting… God Bless All our Military.
