O/T no whining from you folks up North

[enjenjo]

You would'nt hardly recognize the place today. bout the only thing left out there is the two cement mushroom-lookin water towers on the north east corner of the old Air base. almost all the old buildings have been demolished.

I'm not suprised. I stopped by Williams Field a few years ago, and there is not much left there either.

Whenever we complained about the weather at Shephard AFB in Wichita Falls, the TIs always told us we could be in Amarillo!  Something about marching in ankle deep mud in a snowstorm...

Never got to experience it, thankfully.

The white stuff will soon be here.

Sorry, but Amarillo didn't impress me. Not in 67 when I did basic training there, not in 70 when I nearly got snowed in there, not in 00 when I lost a U joint there, not in 01 when I went through a flood there.  you have worse weather there than we do here.

 Basic training there in '67?  So did I.  Got there Dec 1.  Bad news was I'd be in basic over Christmas - good news was I'd be in (warm) Texas not in (cold) Iowa.  HA!  Every third guy in line got Amarillo.

 Every morning when we got up we had to clear the snow off the (inside) of the window sill before inspection.  Then jump into our summer gear (the same stuff they issued the guys in San Antonio) and fall out to march to class.  Jan 17 they sent me to Shephard AFB in Wichita Falls.  Small world.

  ?, Well lessee...I was still in highschool then too, I turned 18 six days after you got out of the Air Force. Guess math wasn't one of the requirements needed to get in the service back then huh?  
My  OLDER brother was in the Air Force at that time too, and he seems fairly smart....even though he does like Fords.
( I'm ducking now, before it's too late...)

Just enough to keep from scareing little kids, but you gotta feel for my younger brother, not much of anything left for him; I take you were the youngest too......
