72-74 timeframe for me. Site "Hanza" (Sig. Co.) couple miles up the the road from Torii Sta.

Welcome aboard MSG!!!

First In Asia.....
 

05' to present.....Gate 2 st. misses some of you older, I mean vintage guys.

My last 4 years were in the 1st. 1/1st 90-93 and Lewis 93-94. The last year made me retire after being busy in Okie.

95-98 oda 196 and 190. great times were had....

OKI time
 

Okay. Let me walk into the kill zone - Was in 46th SF CO, Thailand in '71 when we became 4th BN, 1st SFGA (classified, then) and renamed USASF - Thailand. Then Oki in 1/1 '88-'93.

But, if we count time on Oki, I was a dependent chile' there '55 - '58.

When I got to Oki in '88, I met ole SGM, aw sxxt!, what's his name at the American Legion on Oki. He arrived on island (torii beach, I think) EARLY on 1 April '45 as a US Navy Frogman (that was the invasion for those who may not know their history), joined the AF, then the Army and SF in the 1st where he retired and stayed on island. I think he's got us all beat.

longrange1947, do you know who I'm talking about? He must have still been in Group when you were there.

Oops! Gettin' old. The conversion time was April '72 to Companies and BN's and concurrently for the 46th CO assignment to 1st Grp.

MFFI115 - Know who you are talking about but old timers is killing me on names now days.

I remember when you guys at 46th would get mad at us intruders from Okie getting TDY for being in the same place you guys were. :D

MFFI115, Longrange1947, are you guys talking about SGM Perkins. As far as I can remember he was the oldest SGM in 1st Group when we were there Longrange.

Damn.

ODA 142 '95-'99

Looks like I'll have to miss the GTG this year, sure it will be some good times. Of course my keeping up these days, is reading the chapter XVI monthly news letter. BTW, Bart has done a tremendous job with the chapter site.
Cheers,

"COCKTAILS"

Billy,

No. Dick Perkins retired in FAY and the last time I saw him was about ten years ago still teaching karate-do. The SGM I'm thinking of last name started with Mc something, I think.

SGM Joe McCluskey was the 1st BN SGM during Cabin Beach.
