Remembering my Dad and his sacrifice

Updates to Duty Stations
I am slowly and methodically finding all the information I can about my Dad’s service in the USAF Security Service. As I get more information, it will be added to the applicable DUTY STATION section.
UPDATE: The records I received from the National Personnel Records Center on my father and the documents and pictures I scanned in from a visit to Mom and her records from Dad are now all uploaded to flickr and have links to them in each of the DUTY STATIONs. As of 01 August 2009, I completed updating all the DUTY STATION sections with these new images and documents.

Was interested in hearing about your dad. I was at Onna Point most of the time that your dad was. He left there in Feb 1963 and I left there in Jun 1963. I was on Charlie trick. I was wondering what trick he was on. I was at Keesler a little after he was.(Apr 61 to Dec 61) Have good memories of Onna Point. Hard to believe that there’s not even a cement slab left now.—-Charlie
From the above URL you can access American Military In Turkey, my page on same and by clicking on my page for my own website USAFSS6932.com. You have done a great tribute to your Dad, the USAFSS and its vets. One correction may I offer: I was at the 6932 RSM, Samsun, Turkey from 1960 - 61 - you have it listed as 6933 RGM. I believe the 6933 RSM was at nearby Trabzon, Turkey. My Best To You
My dad was SSgt Melvin Johns. He was stationed at Keesler in 1954, Okinawa in 1955, March AFB in 1956-57,and in Iraklion in 1958-62. He was a 6’5″ African American man with a petite wife from Mississippi and two daughters. I remember that Dad was terrible on the basketball team in Crete. He was friends with a man named Raneo, and the base photographer. Does anyone remember us?
