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.
