We were lucky to be missile maintenance weenies. Our team and security escort was alone, 30 to 100 miles from the base just doing our job without the BS.

We were good at it and they left us alone.

I was TAC (ACC today) and worked in shop on avionics for the F-111A. Our Automatic test stations were run from a central computer called CENPAC. CENPAC could control up to ten test stations simultaneously.

We were told that the CENPACS were cast-offs from SAC and used to control 10 Titan II missile silos. Don't know if it was true, but it always made a good story.
