I was stationed at Greenville AFB in 1961 as I was going to Personnel Specialist School at Greenville AFB.  It was only a 3 month school and there was of course Firefighters School there too and I believe some kind of a medical school there too.  There were very few planes of any kind that came there when I was there in May 1961 to Sept 1961.  The base had a recreation center, gym, and snack bar on the flight line, which we all visited everyday.  One incident I remember was being on area guard duty with 4 other airman.  We were told to stop anyone coming in our area to make sure they belonged there.  One night while on duty an intruder tried to pull a fast one and slip into the area.  We the are guards didn't have any weapons and carried a flashlight with a big hard piece of plastic on the end and so when one of the other area guards yelled that there was an intruder and we didn't know what he was up to.  We were instructed to stop anyone not authorized by our squadron commander.  He started running and was hemmed in by the 4 guards on duty.  He wouldn't stop so one of the area guards threw his flashlight at him and hit him square in the back and down he went.  When we surrounded him and had someone in authority come, we found out that it was our squadron commander and he was just testing us to see how we might respond.  He was pleased at our response but I bet he never tried his area guards ever again.  He had a horrible looking swelling on his back and I'm sure it was painful.  I suppose that probably taught the older commander not to try that again when he was young himself but he couldn't outrun his younger airman and boy did he pay for that training with us.  He was wearing civilian clothes and trying to see what his young airman might do in a certain situation.  I wish I could remember his name or any of the other 4 area guards guarding the barracks and the airman sleeping in them.

Great web site enjoyed all the photos. I was also B-47 bomb nav  1962 to 1966 Plattsburgh AFB, NY. Just retired from NCR Corp. after 35 years.
I loved working on those sweet bombers, we switched to the B-52.  Yuk, the wx in Plattsburgh was cold but the girls keep us warm.

I served on AST 7 from Sept 63 to Mar 64.  Your pictures of the helicopter and the airport brought back a lot of memories.  I made a number of trips on the Walleby.  I was on Site 22 and 25.
Great site!
