My dad was Navy and then went to work for the AF at Hill. Did tons of work for the 388th. He built the first simulator for the F16. It is still in the Hill museum.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Best assignment as a dependent was Camp King, Oberursel, Germany. Best assignment for me: 54th MP Co, Fort Ord, California.

Six years at Hickam AFB. Three tours at Beale AFB for a total of almost 15 years. The rest were overseas which were places that weren't on anyone's "favorites" list.

I still have some good friends that live in Layton. Funny thing was, I got stationed at Hill and less than a year later my Dad's company transferred him to Salt Lake City, they lived in West Valley City for 16 years before moving back to Prescott, AZ in '98. Seems you are usually away from family when in the military, but mine followed me! Heck, I may have worked with your Dad.

My best duty statin was when I served on USS Lawrence DDG-4 from 1979-1981, I will never forget the time we went to Bloodsworth Island to to shoot Naval Gun Fire Support (NGFS) to train Marine Spotters. Three days of constant Fire missions, shooting both 5/54" guns was AWESOME, I was an FTG1 and was Plotting Room Officer and we shot over 1200 rds, when we finished both magazines were empty..I had an outstanding group of FTG's in Gun Plot..

VAP-61. Based out of Agana, Guam we flew RA-3B's to Townsville,Australia; Japan, the Phillippines, Danang, Vietnam, and whatever carrier was in the Tonkin Gulf at the time. We also went to Bangkok, Thailand my favorite. We flew the largest aircraft to ever go aboard a carrier, they nicknamed it the whale. It was the last to trap and the first to launch. It first flew in 1950 and flew until the early eighties for the military. About five still fly today for Raytheon as missile test beds in California. Check out the website Vap61Vap62 or Vappers. We lost about five aircraft during my two and a half years there. One was shot down on takeoff at Danang, Vietnam.

Fred Bates Dad died in 81. Worked in the old building 100. The building was renumbered when too many people knew about building 100. (secure/classified electronics repair)
