| Comments: | I was a mobster from 72-78. Worked in the 62 tech control van, also the TSC-38B Radio van, and a 1 KW HF van used as part of the QRC team (what was the nomenclature of that little van?). I was at Sembach 72-73, and Lindsey AS from 74-76. Myself, Bob Kovacs, Rod Schultz, and ? Pawolski were the guys who painted the parking stripes in the motorpool parking lot. I made the move to Patrick and was there 76-78. I was part of the ADVON team. I remember walking into the base housing office and being handed 3 sets of keys to South Capehart housing, and being told, if I didn't like those, to come back for more choices. Incredible that the housing was so empty. Retired in 89 as a MSgt. Went back to school, passed the national Xray registry exam and have been working in healthcare ever since. |

| Comments: | I was in the 2nd MOB at Patrick from July 1981 thru June 1985 as an Air Traffic Controller. The MOB was good to me—I arrived as a MSgt anticipating retirement and left as a CMSgt selectee. Lt Col Dennis Grace sent me to LaGuardia Tower NY, NY two weeks after I signed in and on to Granada, West Indies for Operation “Urgent Fury” in November 1983. I had a rewarding AF career with many pleasant memories, but my time as a MOBSTER will always rank at the top. So many good people training for difficult task and then performing admirably when the call came. I can’t begin to name all the good people I met, but I will never forget one of you. Dennis called on me one more time after I retired. We worked together with a group of former Mobsters as Scheduling Analyst at the Space Center, Cape Canaveral, FL for 18 years. That group included Hank Hayes, Greg Joyce, Mike Powers, Rick Roig, Jonathan Buxton, Tom Allen and Dave Mock. I would love hearing from anyone reading this.

| Comments: | I was in the Leper Colony (Radar) from Sep 75 til Sep 77. I'm on the 1 MOB website and went to the '04 reunion in Biloxi. My ex-roomy, Greg Martuch, and his wife, Valerie, from Michigan met me and mine, Debra (Gulfport, MS) for a good time with Jack Hayes, one of the only members we remembered.
I now run the Airfield Systems (AFSC 2E1X2) (used to be METNAV that used to be NAVAIDS) Tech school at Keesler AFB. Greg is an engineer for GM. Greg got out after 4 and went the civilian route. I stayed for 20 then went Civil Service. I was in the Mob during the 2 MOB/1 MOB transition and can't remember the name of the guy who designed the patch. He was a biker and actually wrote Harley Davidson to see about using their logo. Something about copyrights came up, so he made the stripes horizontal instead of vertical and the rest, as they say, is history. |

I retired in 85 to get a job that so I could put my kids through college. We now live outside Chiacgo near 5 of our 6 grandkids. My oldest is a now Major in AWACS. Some of you may remember the MBC-1 (Mobile Beer Cooler #1) the refer shop built at Toul that made a lot of C-124, C-130 and C-141 manifests and it made a lot of deployments more interesting. |

| Comments: | Hello, all you young whippersnapper Mobsters!
As with many, right out of Kessler, was assigned to the 2nd Airways and Air Communications Squadron, Hahn Air Force Base, Germany. Served there from September 1956 to May 1959 when re-assigned 604th Communications Squadron at Ramstein. Hahn was just great, probably because played football for the base Hawks and provided communications support for the U.S.A.F. Skyblazers at practice field and show sites. Skyblazers were forerunners (two pilots were sent stateside to form) of the Thunderbirds. This was before the time of in-flight refueling. Any former Hahnites or miobsters of this period still around would love to hear from you - and/or any mobster. (29350) |

| Comments: | Hello to you other mobsters. I was in the 2nd MOB from Sept 1960 to Nov. 1962. I joined the crew when it was the 2nd AACS Comm. Sqdn. and thus became part of what was then referred to "Col.Carneys' Carnival", always on the move and the "First in and the Last out". I am familiar with some who have signed on here such as Richard "Wally" Woloszyn (my brother in law), Gary Emitt, Jim Moore, Ben Steltzer and some that haven't signed on. Those would be Wendell Bernett Redish Jr., Don Dunlap, Larry Strom, Sgt. Gilbert, Sgt. McClusky, Sgt. Hoyt Taylor, Sgt. Eck, Jack Vasura, McItyre,(first name ??), to name a few. By far the best duty anyone could have had. Always headed for Wiesbaden right after returning from many of the tdy's. Gary and Wally you guys will remember it all to well. WIll always remember the Twilight Net. on 20610, 14682 and another on 8???. Never used that freq. much. Only as a last resort when you lost ctc with Leopoldville, tne NCS. I have always been proud of our limited involvement with the early Mercury Program and supplying support back up for recovery especially when Col. John Glenn went up and we were there. Well, enough for this time around. If any remember drop a line. I just wrote to wally, Gary you are next on m list....GOod luch to all Tom C. |

| Comments: | I was assigned to the 2MOB at Semback AB in Jan. 1970. I arrived from Cam Rahn Bay, RVN (1881 Comm Sq). I later moved to Wiesbaden (Lindsay AS) with the unit. I remained there until Aug. 1977. During this period the unit made the transition in name over to the 1MOB. I worked in the Telephone Maint. Section and was deployed all over. I was a TSgt during that time and made MSgt as I was leaving. When I left Lindsay AS in Aug. of '77, I was assigned to the 3MOB at Tinker AFB, OK. I was there until I retired in 1980 from the Air Force. As it turned out I was in the 1st,2nd,&3rd MOB. How many people out there can say that? I worked with some of the very best people at what they do during my 10 years in the MOB. If you think you know me, you probably do, because I have been the world over a few times. I am now retired and live with my second wife Bonnie in Beavercreek, Ohio. For all of you that knew my 1st wife Johnita, she died of cancer in 2001. She is dearly missed, but not forgotten. |

I've been out here at avon park and it seems everybody left already. I was told by Major Jensen to wait here for the meal driver and tell him we already left but he never showed up and nobody told me what to do if he didn't, and I don't have a checklist for this scenario so I just waited. Well, I kinda am hungry so I called Patrick Afb and funny thing, nobody knows what I'm talking about when I ask for the 2nd mob. Now thats a fade out. Anyway if anyone sees T/E could you ask if this is a scenario or maybe some kind of skewed mopp level...I'd really like to go home and the porta john is full...since i had all this free time i built a really cool house out of pork patties....if you likc them like envelopes they stick together really well..kinda funky when it rains, turns into some kind of psychotic sponge house....but I invented this cool game to play when it gets like that...its called boomerang horseshoes. it hurts a lot to learn to play though....okay...gotta go, I got CQ again tonight...I really need to get some more people on this detail roster....roger copy.... |

| Comments: | I was assigned to the MOB, straight out of Keesler, in March of 1967. Stayed there thru March of 1970. Made some great friends, some of whom are still in regular contact with us. Also made many memories, with all the travel and TDY's. I worked in the Radio Relay Shop, across from Base Opps Tower. I married one of those dependent girls there, and still have her after 38 years. We've made several trips back to Sembach, as recent as Jan 08. Though many changes have been made, it's still Sembach.
My wife and I made the Mob Reunion, a few years ago, when it was in Memphis. Then she got hired for a job at Yokota AB, Japan. Then we spent 2 years in Korea, and are now at Fort Bragg, NC. Chances are good that we'll one day end up at Sembach again. We could handle that. |
