Shemya, good call!
And I know guys that volunteered LOL
Alass poor Yorick to have or not to have? That is the question. Gotta love the to have.
Back in 1980 a new Captain I knew was ending his four-year tour on Missile Combat Crew and wanted out of missiles entirely. Back then the AF didn't give missileers much room for leaving the field so he took whatever he could get and became the Transportation Officer at Shemya. I saw him again in 1983 and he was happy and the Chief of Safety for a large MAC base down south.
He not only made it out of missiles but retired as a LtCol, and he did it by volunteering for duty at Shemya.
