Oh man! I spent wayyyyyy too much time in one of those Nomex bags to think it could handle a regular kitten much less a bobcat!

Minot and missiles huh! Did you remember the guy who used to get nude, put on his viking war helmet when pulling alert there? LOL!

I got down inside a hole at Warren in 76.

One of my more interesting assignments was a 2 month TDY to Brooks AFB as a medical guinea pig. Got to ride the cetrifuge. Way cool! Got plastered in the O-club prior to a ride one day - BAD MISTAKE! LOL

Those two yahoos came back, ordered two more beers and argued with each other about whose stupid idea it was todo that.

Missiles, Yep, and the naked crew guy was something of a legend -- before I got there, although we had a number of our own legends develop themselves there. Warren was the sister to our MMIII system at Minot.

Did the crew thing there, wing staff at Ellsworth and spent the rest my time primarily in SAC nuclear planning and command and control both on the old Looking Glass and ground mobile command post.

If I had partied prior to something like a centrifuge ride I'd have had to spend days cleaning the thing.
