USS Kula Gulf CVE 108
From 1954 to 1956 he worked at Eglin Air Force Base at the Navy All Weather Test Detachment. He tested planes , choppers, jeeps etc. under 80 degrees below zero in a 300 x 300 hanger. He said they had missiles there and to work there they checked him out back to his baby days in a sandbox to make sure he could do top priority secret stuff. He just said there were things there Americans would not see for 15 years they were working on.
Funny story ; He made a bet with a couple of Navy guys like he was that he could run through the 80 below hanger only wearing shorts and a t-shirt and sneakers. Giggle...he won the bet.
Thank you soooooo much 68-69TonkinGulfYatchClub from both of us.
