Hello to all USAFSS types. I'am the third son of David E. Taylor. I currently serve as a Army Engineer Officer (INARNG). I have served in all types of high speed units to include the Army Special Forces...and I owe it ALL to my USAFSS father! Please, I need your help...does any former USAFSS member know my father David E. Taylor from Ohio? He served as a MA+ Linguist, aircrew and ground, etc? His units were 6912th, 6913th, HQ USAFSS, Tuslog Det 94, O/L1 6990th-Korat, 6922nd Det7-Korat, 6908th-NKP and Task Force Alpha-NKP. I can never find his name on any rosters, etc. Please email any information that you might have on him or his SS units. Thank you!

Good Site.

#1 Someone ate the W.O.R.M.S. out of the bottles before I got there.#2 If the "Conflict" is over, and I get neither air cover nor Combat pay, why are they still shooting at me?#3 This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Where the hell is your brain if you are on my mission AC on drugs?

As 306, I spent many a mid-shift in our little cottage next to the flight line at Pleiku in 1966-67 drinking god awful coffee, keeping the crypto gear on line, and of course, listening to and telling lies. I was there the night the armory blew up next door and the SP's were at the door ready to kill us all because they thought it was their duty to keep us from falling into "enemy" hands. I was also there nights when we lost friends and had doubts. I became an engineer and traveled all over the world, but I have never found a group of people with more dedication than my friends in the 6994th. I hope all of you have done well these past years and would like to hear from you.

An updated entry just to stay in touch. Great finding e-mail addresses of Boneman and others. Fortunately I get to see several "oldies" at the FTVA Reunions (Big Ed, Rick Francona, Dave Honerman, etc. - even saw Dan Tuechak (sp?) this past year). Also fortunate to live in the "retirement paradise" of San Antonio and run into old buddies here (Dommie, PF, Phil Beekley, Al Dougherty, etc). Will keep checking back for new contacts (still looking for address of "Duck-Pond-Jumper" Bill Dean. And what ever happened to Gu9s Duncan??? (Remember, the 9 is silent) TTYL

I found this site quite by accident. Happily I saw some familiar names. I do remember spending more time in Casual at Lackland than in actual Basic..about four days more. The butt-numbing ride to a sandstorm in El Paso in Feb '71. Goodbuddy was okay, Ft. Meade during the summer of '72 was a great time for me. I passed thruogh Clark the day after Marcos delcared Martial law in the Phillipines and arrived in NKP the day after the new BX opened. I have lots of pictures of Camp Tarboux and downtown NKP. I could even come up with a few pics of the Dancers too. I have a close-up shot of the clock and six-months apart photos of the customs station by the river showing the 60-70 foot difference in water levels. When I arrived at NKP, Jerry Cook, Ed Verbunker, and I were put up in the hoohces across from the tennis courts, just below the chow hall. I remember the '08th folks were probably the only folks who went to work with field jackets and liners as necessary equipment. How about sitting position, searching with your off hand and keeping your writing hand in the opposite armpit to stay warm enough to copy. Riding bikes along the perimeter road then around the bunker walls to park by our back door at TFA. Did anyone else ever have bad dreams in four-figure? Linebacker II was especially busy (no foolin'!!) I recall going out the back door to see the BUFF on fire as it passed overhead. The sound of the gunships at work over Laos was audible on base. The outdoor theatre screen that would wash out every time a Jolly Green passed by. As primitive as the place was; I had a great time. Okinawa was exile by comparison, the '90th was okay, but the rest of the rock was endurable only by taking up SCUBA diving. When the chance came to go on a 60 day TDY back to NKP, it was YAHOO..me too!!! The best traffic I ever heard was at the end of a "figure" msg..."Attn all stations, tomorrow, two C-130's will land at Bac Mai...DO NOT shoot them down." It was the start of Operation Homcoming.After Okinawa in '74, I wound up at Travis as a Loadmaster on C-5's and then a desk job as a 27170 (an operations & mission planning job). I retired in Oct '91 from Travis. Steve French, (Ong Phap!)I have a good photo of your reaction to the 'wonderful' taste of Very Cold Duck. This is a great site.. I'll be back! (sorry Arnold)

I was with the 6990th from 69 until discharge in 71. Friends included: Steve Wempe, Dick McHale, Charlie Richardson, Walt Wege, Ralph Nocito, Carmello "Mo" Morales, John Nicolai, Dick Smart, Woody, Alexis, Chuck Stanko, Gene Jackson, Gary Beadle, and many, many others. Did a lot of TDY in Cam Rahn Bay. I flew over 100 combat missions on RC135's out of Kadena and 130's out of Nam. Vietnamese Linguist/ Presidio of Monterey(1967) Goodfellow (1968). I left my E-mail address if you remember me or any of the above. Leave a message with Chow Ong" as subject. Great site, I'll be back.

Dear Friends:I happened upon this site today, and I want to thank you for a nice trip down memory lane. I served in the 6908th Security Squadronunder Lt. Col. Luther A. Tarbox from the fall of 1971 to August of 1972. I worked as a voice intercept operator in North Vietnamese.Names of my buddies include: Gary Ward, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Dean Padgett, Hickory, N.C.; Don Thies, Madison, Wis. GeorgeAbyad, New Jersey. J.D. Finnegan, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Willie Price, San Luis Obispo, Ca. Dan Hanson, Chicago, IL. Please advise whether anyone remembers these guys. Also, how might I ad to the substance of this site. Thank you. Chuck Hendrickson,Byron, Illinois.

Was stationed in DaNang AirBase and at Monkey Mountain 1/67 - 4/68.Specialty was Chinese Voice Processing. Attended Presidio of Montereyclasses 1965-1966. Was at Kelly AFB in 1968. I remember most the Monsoons,TET I & II, R&Rs, China Beach and the damn red mud.

We tor up Ft Cambell because some already went and were sending pictures and stories back. Others like the 502 Airborne were under STRAC lock down with chains and padlocks on their doors . Others were jocks getting ready for the games in Japan and REPO DEPO was full of new draftees that didnt want ot go. We fought with bink adapters in the PT fields and tippid over cars and burned the E3 Club before the whole company was arrested marched to the airport flown to SF and forced on board the Simopn B Buckner arrived in nam 27 days latter with no equipment. Tell you the resat of the real war latter right now I gatta go!

x202, served at Danang and Saigon. In Saigon I was attached to the 509th Radio Research Grp. an ASA unit that coordinated the air missions of the Army and Air Force with MACV. Also served at Elmendorf AFB as an analyst.

I was a north vietnames transcriber at the 90th and found this sight after Joe Nohejl told me about it. Ifound Joe because I have filed a claim with VA for post traumatic stress disorder and used a search service to find him. I am really interested in finding other members I served with. It took years of therapy and a lot of persuasion by my VA psycholgist to file for a claim. Steve says it really well when he said manyof us never had a chance to grow up because we grew old so young. Presently am fighting with the VAbecause they are not use to dealing with people like us with our clearances. Much of my personnel recordis still classified although the Pentagon Air Force is trying to make some of my records available to the VA.Some of the best evidence I can produce for my claim are statements from other people I worked with and Iam asking for help with this and for those attempting or planning to attempt filing a claim, I'll pass on allthat I have learned about the process over the last two years.

NICE TO READ OTHER VISITOR'S HAPPENINGS, ESPECIALLY THE LONGER INCIDENTS. THERE WAS A WHILE BACK THERE WHEN I THOT I WAS THE ONLY GUY LEFT WHO WAS THERE. BAD DREAMS, & ALL. HEY, WERE THERE ANYMORE ROOSKIE 203S WHO ARE WILLING TO TALK OF THEIR S.E.A. EXPERIENCES? I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL THEIR NAMES, BUT DO RECALL SOME NON-RUSS WHO WERE THERE: JOLLY(WE CALLED HIM JOLLY-GREEN, DUE TO HEIGHT & THE GREENIES WE WORE). PETE CHAMLEE(YOU'RE A GENIUS PETER!), ALEX KUFELDT, CARL JONIETZ, & MIRSKY (MIRSKY ONE, AIRFORCE ZERO), MARVELOUS, FABULOUS MATT MURPHY (MURF THE SURF), & MORE AS THE CLOUDS PART....WHO WAS THAT SERGEANT WHO ALWAYS STARED AT THE DOT ON THE WALL? MCDONALD OR WHT? DOES ANYONE KNOW THE EVOLUTION/DEVOLUTION OF THE 6924TH, & CAN E-MAIL ME, OR RESPOND HERE? ADDRESS IS CHANGED FROM ENTRY # 184, NOT REXFMI@BPSINET ANYMORE, NOW TREXX1997@AOL.COM. SURE IS A TRIP, READING OF ALL THE MEN WHO WENT & SERVED. ALWAYS GRATEFUL TO HAVE SERVED MY PART ALONGSIDE THE BEST.

Phu Bai 8th RRFS, used to process the voice tapes from the 6994th Pleiku EC-47 guys, and always liked when they would give me their box lunches (seldom). I was in charge of the ARVNs DANCER program at Phu Bai.

Good well-focused LOCATOR site.

Never thought I would see this! Stumbled across site and enjoy the comments. Was at 6985th in 63-64. Flew a couple of 24 hour flights to Yokota before Flight surgeon said no more. Will definitely revisit.

I think the site is a great idea! I'm hoping to connect with some old buds.

Some of our class was assigned to Kadena. Just looking for some old buddies. Thanks for the site and all the work involved to create and maintain. Anyone stationed at Kadena in 1972-73 remember Bill Bleasdale, Mike Southworth, and other tvorachy?

love the site but if you read this wyco change my email address and put mo down for my name as people did not know camillo thanks

Hours and hours of boredom, punctuated by seconds of sheer panic, ( A phrase I heard at Goodfellow, proven out). Remembering days on the beach at Cam Rahn in the winterwhen it was nice and warm with a cool bottle of Mateus wine enjoying a day off during the Viet Nam conflict, with those occasional runs over to Khorat to see the sights and take a break, while working with the best guys in the USAF!.
