| Capt. Jimmy Powers Port Orange, Florida |  I was stationed at OAFB from July 1961 until October of 1964. I was assigned to the 566th SMS in the beginning, which became the 549th SMS soon after my arrival. I have fond memories looking back, but remember how elated I was to get a 6 months early discharge. I am gratefull for the opportunities that came from being based at Offutt, namely the SAC Aero Club. I left Offutt as a Airman 2nd Class. I have retired twice from the airline industry as a Boeing 757/767 Captain. First was USAir in 1994, and my last career was at EVA Air in Taiwan after 7 years. Who would have thought? I assume many of those who I remenmber are gone now. Gen. Thomas Power, Gen. Eisenhart, Sgt. Bud Everhart, and Sgt. Thomas Westfall who was my flight Instuctor. 10/31/2007 @ 10:28 [ref: 6456] |
| Mark Baker Grand Ledge, Michigan | Hey Bob, I'm pretty sure that I remember you. I was an LE trooper at Offutt from 1/81-1/85 (Col. Russell Suchy, CMSgt Vickory, etc.). Didn't you go OSI at some point? I think we played some pick-up basketball a time or two at the court adj. Dorm 402? I look back at my time at Offutt as some of the very best of my life. The recent situation with ACC (the old Tactical Air Command led by pussy's like Merrill McPeak) accidently loading 'Crowd-Pleasers on a Buff from Minot to Barksdale, as well as Vlad Putin demonstrating that the Old Soviet Union isn't as dead as some thought, proves that standing SAC down will prove to be a huge mistake. The only thing worse then an asshole politician is one who masqerades as a general officer. I noticed the thread by the ex S. Cal. Lieutanent-Surfer-Boy... I'm happy he got his sorry ass out and saved us from another future flag-rank pussy who never understood the real world in the first place. Putin, China, and all the rest wouldn't dare un-zip their pants if SAC and "Glass" and NEACAP and the 55th Strategic Recon Wing were still in the saddle. Oh well, it was a glorious ride while it lasted! 09/18/2007 @ 21:09 [ref: 6322] |

| Michael Adams , Virginia | I joined the Air Force in March, 1966. Upon completion of basic training at Lackland AFB, I was assigned to Offutt with approximately forty other Airmen to receive advanced training to become an Air Policemen. We were assigned to a barracks that was used for NCO training. Upon completion of the training, half of us were assiged to Law Enforcement Squads and the other half were assigned to Security squadrons. I enjoyed all my time at Offutt. However, I never got a chance to visit the museum. I was transfered to England in 1968. 05/22/2007 @ 14:32 [ref: 5932] |

| W. H. Phinizy Fountain Valley, California |  Stationed at Offutt AFB from 15 January 1969 to 20 May 1972 -- AND HATED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Seriously, I was a young 2nd Lieutenant out of UCLA and Nebraska was so far from the ocean that it possibly warped my perspective a tad. The museum was outdoors oi those days and I distinctly remember there being a B-36 as part of the inventory. Looking back, I was proud of my service and happy to have worked in the underground; important work in those days. Developing a war plan sure beats the skippy out of getting out payroll reports or other dreary corprate stuff. I *do* miss Al's Bar and the 25 cent beers. 12/14/2006 @ 14:18 [ref: 5494] |

| Bill Tempelmeyer Marshalltown, Iowa | I was assigned to SAC from May 1950 - Sep 1953. Was "up on the hill" in D Bldg. at Offutt AFB just wondering if there were any other old Airmen still around. 09/25/2006 @ 19:22 [ref: 5291] |
| Bob Walentynowicz Austin, Texas | I was stationed as an SP with 3902 SPS at Offutt from 2-82 to 9-85. The last two years 9-83 to 9-85 I flew with NEACP as the Team Two Team Leader reporting to Col. Stanley Brown USA, JCS. Curious to see if any of my team members are out there. My nickname was Sgt Wally. 09/05/2006 @ 09:47 [ref: 5232] |
| Mark D. Baker Grand Ledge, Michigan | I was stationed at Offutt from 1/81-1/85 as a Law Enforcement Specialist with the 3902nd SPS. I visited the SAC Museum on many occaisions and have yet to get back to see the new one at Mahoney SP. I, like many SAC veterans, was VERY disappointed when SAC was stood-down after having won the Cold War. Many of us felt that then, and time has proven us correct, bthat the world is far "less" stable today than it ever was during the height of the CW. General LeMay (who I was furtunate enough to actually meet once when he made one of his visits to Offutt in the early eighties) was relentless in building an uncompromising class of dedicated warriors to carry out an amazing and dangerous mission from 1946-1992. Unfortunately, the likes of Curtis LeMay were replaced by political hacks and wanna-be TAC stooges like Merrill McPeak, who was petty enough as Chief of Staff, to mandate that all roadsigns at Offutt have TAC crests affixed to them as a means of rubbing our proud SAC noses in his s#@! (by the way, Tactical Air War lays with our Naval Aviators launching off carrier decks where we don't have to "wait for permission" to close with and kill the enemy; don't get me started!). The name of the SAC Museum at Mahoney SP was also changed due to McPaek & company who would love to downplay SAC's proud, rich history. I am working on a manuscript for a novel with strong ties to SAC and Offutt. I would love to hear from anyone who served with 1st or 2nd ACCS; the 3902nd SPS, the 3906th SSS, NEACP Flying Cops, or NEACP Crewmembers, or anyone who served in Building 500.
