I remember when I was in the Air Force in late 70s the biggest fear I had was being stationed at Thule Air Force Base in Thule, Greenland.

Thule Air Base has been renamed. It is now Pitffik Space Base.

Thule was not exactly “Las Vegas”, I’m guessing.
Not on or off the base.
What was there to do while on Liberty?
Watch the whales going one way....

Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit.

I was expecting more of something along the lines of the 82nd Airborne flights to Greenland, oh well.

[volare737]

Ooops, I misspelt it. It is now Pituffik Space Base.

I remember that. Then I heard “why not Minot” and decided to keep my mouth shut.

[volare737]

Yep, we used to call Thule “The Cool Tool”...lol

In my AFSC, Incirlik, Turkey was a dark fear for us.

[volare737]

That was number 2 behind Thule.

It’ll be Las Vegas when Trump gets through with it. And see ya’ on the slopes!

[cross_bearer_02]

I mean if we’re going to own the place, we might as well establish some travel routes to and from, yes?

[volare737]

Yep, waiting for the first “Trump Ski Resort”!

“I remember when I was in the Air Force in late 70s the biggest fear I had was being stationed at Thule Air Force Base in Thule, Greenland.”

I was stationed in Minot ND in the early 70’s.
Thule would have been a step up.
You did not have to deal with Democrats that
hated Vietnam era Vets

[volare737]

Good point,,,,,,,,but Vietnam vets were hated everywhere in the early 70s, not just Minot.
