I remember you Romads!! You guys were still there when I got there.   
By the way I got back to Bergstrom for the TAC NCO Academy in 1991 before she closed.
Thanks for the reply.

I spent a lot of time TDY, luckily, in the era we were swapping older weapons for the GLCMs and Pershings in Europe so we were doing a lot of convoying to dissasembly and storage. To this day I dont talk in detail about it or say locations. "Secret" is "secret".

Now my son is doing the exact same job. Funny how that works. I was down at Lackland last spring to watch him graduate from BT. It was no nice being around those excellent young people and hearing "sir" and "m'am" being spoken and not having to hear 18yo's calling you "dude" or "guy" or "chief" like little dooshes.

I notice that with the young ones coming on my job out of the military. They are much more respectful towards the citizens then the other recruits. And professional.

USAF 1988-2011. 

I was an Ammo troop until 2000 when I cross trained into a desk job.  While the decision turned out to be a good one, I sure missed the flightline.

While an Ammo troop, I was at Homestead AFB providing A2A and A2G munitions for F-4 and then F-16s.  Wen't on the Osan AB, then to Carswell AFB in Ft Worth, then to Seymour Johnson AFB.
