It really wasn't a radar site like the 757th but rather a very small mobile unit with weapon controllers, maintenance personnel etc. We came under TAC because of our deployment responsibilities and reported to Bergstrom. We were tucked away in an old aircraft hanger at end of the flight line on George AFB..jbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345609060295926697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-61129784843815705332010-03-11T20:56:21.133-07:002010-03-11T20:56:21.133-07:00Jess: More than a few guys retired out of Blaine ...Jess: More than a few guys retired out of Blaine and stayed in the area... it was THAT nice.

The 757RADS, Blaine AFS WA was probably my best assignment stateside. The other one, 64TCF George APP, I couldn't leave fast enough...jbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345609060295926697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18232353.post-28163383062603721242008-03-06T16:53:00.000-07:002008-03-06T16:53:00.000-07:00Jim sez: By the way, my question was going to be ...<B>Jim sez:</B> <I>By the way, my question was going to be the same as Mushy's, but I see you've already supplied all the answer you're willing to.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm not commenting either way on this subject due to the wonderfulness of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, aka "The Red Book" or UCMJ.
