I was in the 511th AC&W Group, Site 28 Japan from 1954-1956.

Found your Web page by chance,but what a really interesting site with a wealth of information. Great stuff.

I was stationed at Lake City, Tenn from Mar 54 to Sept 60 with an interruption of one year (Jul 56 to Jul 57) in which I was at Pagwa River, Ont, Canada. In 1960 I was one of the initial cadre to set up BMEWS at Hq NORAD. Would love to hear from anyone I was associated with during this time frame.

Enjoyed both my tours at the 752nd ACW Empire Mich. Good Duty and beautiful country.

Keep up the good work!!! The site is getting better each day! Still think you need a special GATR link or heading!

Another old AC&W veteran checking in and finding something I am surprised and excited to find. Spent most of my time with the 4754th Radar Evaluation Squadron at Hill AFB, UT.

Pulled duty at Opheim, Fortuna and Antigo AFS, also in GEEIA.

Found your sire courtesy of Bob Varney. I have lived in Vermont since the 1960s save for my own stint in the AF (Minuteman missiles, not radar...) and only recently paid a visit to the abandonded radar station in East Haven VT (Lyndonville AFS). Quite impressive, and yes, its still for sale! Thanks for helping preserve this bit of Cold War history. Chip

Requested the Cold War Recognition Certificate, which I would not have known about, except I stumbled on this web page. Thanks.

Hi guys, Just a reminder, after you leave a note in the Guest Book, sign in on the site rosters of the places where you were stationed. That is also the best place to look for old acquaintances.

Gene, I really appreciate the work youve done for those of us who fought in WWC (cold)in Alaska. Its fun to read about all the other sites that heretofore were only names. Don

Love your site, youve done a great job with it. Retired in 1990 with over 26 years in USAF over 20 years in Radar Ops, mostly flying on EC-121s, E3s or EC-130s. Id would love to hear from anyone who might remember me. Keep up the good work.

Cramer Bacque told me about this site. I was the Bendix Installation Manager for the FPS-30s at Greenlands four DYE sites and the installation at Eglin. Would be glad to add to the data base if anyone is interested.

FIRST THAT iVE HEARD OF THIS WEB-SITE. THANKS

Was stationed at Gettysburg, SD in the early 60s. Have enjoyed this site didnt think anything like it existed. Have added it to my favorites. After a 15 year bbreak in service I joined the ANG as a radar maint type on a TPS-43 and we were located at N. Bend (OR)AFS which had been the 761st radar sqd. We moved from ther to a nearby navy site and the State of Oregon turned that site into a minimum security prison with a military flavor for the inmates. Its still there. Hope to see some other folks from the 903rd find this site. Kepp

The 140th Air Defense Squadron located at Punta Salinas Radar Site, Toa Baja, Puerto Rico used to be an AC&W Sq. It should be included on your excellent Online Radar Museum. If you need more information let me know.

Has anyone applied for and received their Cold War Recognition certificate from Uncle Sam? I filed some time ago and have not had a response. Just wondering if anyone else has had better luck!

I have a ton of pics of the SAGE and manual ops but they are all on slides & I wouldnt know how to scan them. Did you know the Internet uses the old SAGE landlines. Great web page!

Was very happy to find this site. Sure brings back some memories. Did 4 years in Navy; 2-1/2 of which was flying the Pacific barrier in WV-2 (RC-121D). After I got out I worked at Sparrevohn White Alice site as a civilian technician in early 1962.

Served at the 780th AC&W site from Jan62 to Nov 64. Have lots of photos. Would like to go back this summer if it is still there.

My monthly check-in! At Gettysburg, SD in 58. At Saglek in 57. At Mt Tamalpais, CA in 56. Is there anybody out there who served with me? Regards, JIM

I was at the 823rd/25 ADS Det1/25ADS OLAJ (Mica Peak). I was a maintenance tech in the GATR portion. I will dig up pix and patches to forward on.

************* MEMORIES ************** When I arrived at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, Mississippi in October 1962, after finishing basic training at Lackland AFB, San Antonio, Texas, my first quarters on the “Triangle” was in a barracks with two other “roomies”. Those two guys were seasoned RCAF troops, on TDY (Temporary Duty) at Keesler from the Pinetree Line for additional training in radar maintenance. They were straight from a WWII movie to me! Here I was a young, naïve “one striper”, rooming with two “three striper” seasoned RCAF troops, who were several years older than me, and obviously a whole lot more knowledgeable about the ways of the world than I was. We got along real well, as they kinda thought of me as their young Yank kid brother. They had privileges not afforded to us young guys straight from basic training, such as access to real beer, not the 3.2 “near beer” we could get on base. They were generous lads, and shared their bounty with me and a few other guys. The main thing they had that we envied however was a car! They had a vintage VW beetle. It used to give the First Sergeant fits that when he oversaw room inspections, they could only inspect my bunk, and the immediate area around it, which I kept very GI (spit and polish stuff), while my roomies’ portion of the room looked like a college dorm room, i.e. unkempt, with beer cans all over the place, etc.. He had no jurisdiction over the RCAF guys, so all he could do was cuss and fume over the situation. The straw that broke the camels’ back for the First Kick however, was one day late in the afternoon when I had just returned from class that he was performing a surprise inspection of our barracks. My roomies had decided that their VW needed to be overhauled before returning to Canada. And just where were they going to do this engine overhaul? Well in our room of course, which ended up with greasy engine parts from one end of the room to the other, including my portion of the room! I never did hear what happened to those guys. I however, was immediately moved to a different barracks with American roommates. The First Kick took his frustration out on my new roommates and me by doing “white glove” inspections every day for two weeks. I can’t remember the names of my old RCAF buddies, but they sure did liven things up for me during my tech training days at Keesler!

Stationed at Point Arena AFS, CA, 1955-1957 in radar maint(FPS-3,FPS-5,FPS-4,FPS-6,FPS-8). Started school on MSQ-1(?)automatic tracker,but they did away with the course half way thourgh. Switched over to heavy grnd radar. Went back to Keesler twice for gapfiller school but it was never installed before I got out. Finished tour at Hamilton AFB, CA playing football until Oct 57 then got early out to attend college. Met a great bunch of guys. Really enjoyed my 3 years 10 months. Like to hear for any old Pt. Arena men.
