"Me and My RC" cold war Russian linguist bump.
I can still smell the insides of that bird when going through certain parts of an airport. The tech has changed dramatically, but the mission is probably the same. I miss that job.

No, I suspect this person flew ON the RC135. There’s a few of us on the threads that did that. Those are memories we don’t soon forget.

Not Monterey for me. Lackland. All 47 weeks. Wish it had been CA but they wanted it back there for some reason.

Was originally slotted for Russian, then got switched to Korean after a month.
Went back later for the Russian short course.

I was an Arabic linguist. Most of the Russians were cross training to Serbo-Croatian during my time at Mildenhall. How times have changed.

we mooned a cruiser doing high speed passes Times have sure changed in 40 years!
In today's world, there's no way I'd turn my back on someone, drop my pants and bend over.
It might have been an insult back in the day, but these days I think it would be understood as more like an offer and an invitation.
And that is NOT the message I'd want to send!

Tried for Arabic, couldn’t get it. Korean was where the open slots were at that particular time, apparently.

I remember that incident. Didn’t the US government recover that lost aircraft and missile?

In my day, the Russian courses were taught at Syracuse. Albanian and some of the more esoteric tongues were taught at Indiana. Mandarin was taught at Berkeley. No language for me then; I ended up at Goodfellow in 1960.

Such were the state of affairs in the Cold War...we used to have Soviet trawlers trailing us, and when you looked through the binoculars at them, there seemed like 10 sailors on there with binoculars just looking back at you. They used to do that near Kennedy Space Center during the space shuttle era. IRRC, one launch had to be scrubbed and rescheduled because a large Russian "fishing boat" wandered inside the safety zone down range.
