I guess more of the contributors were in the Army than the Air Force.

What do you expect from those who bitched about 12 hour shifts during alerts? lmao

Our battalion provided short range AD at Hahn, Spangdahlem, and Bitburg. At Hahn, we were 45 miles from battalion hq, and I loved it. During alerts, I was the Army Liasion Officer down in the Wing CP. As I was one of only two officers in my battery with the security clearance (my boss was the other one, and he had to run the unit), I was down in the hole for four days. I'd catch cat naps during the night, and I was in my mid-20s, so it wasn't all that bad.

On my first trip down there, I endeared myself to the Wing Cdr during an NBC input, so I was his go to guy for the remainder of his command.

At AF mess halls, omelettes were made to order.

AF enlisted men didn't think they had to salute Army officers.

AF facilities were the best, hands down.
