TerryH,I was also stationed at Shemya AFB 1979-80. Not a place you wanted to be when you are 20 years old. Never been so glad to leave a place in my life but also never so close to a group of people before or after. I was a firefighter. Two things I would not change are my time in the military and being married.

1942 deluxe--thanks for mentioning that you were also at Shemya....a pretty small fraternity it is! I was there for about one year, 1968-1969, and it was quite an experience....and I was sent there about 8 weeks after being married.....our wedding gift from Uncle Sam. A year on remote duty, no leave to go home, no visitors, and 3 men to a room...but what memories and I look back with fondness on my time in the military!
