LaserTex - I was stationed in Korea with the 607 Combat Comm Squadron (1 yr remote with follow-on to "my final assignment" in San Antonio. I was supposed to go to the Engineering and Installation Squadron at Kelly AFB.) I had to fly home on a hardship (father died 3 days after "partying like it was 1999 - Jan 3, 2000). I was on the side of a mountain in Korea, playing "the satellite will fall out of the sky at midnight 1/1/2000 - aka Y2K bug". I was supposed to go visit them on the 7th of january, but he crashed that party by dying. After the funeral, flew back to San Antonio where the family was living in our first house. 30 yr mortgage and all. Thought I would go see where I was going to be working, so i drove out to Kelly - Jan 2000) Found the buiding but the flagpole was bare, grass to the hip, chain around door, closed. No question about it, closed. # weeks later I am back in Korea, telling them that the location I am to report to in June 2000 is ...closed. After many months of me telling and them debating, it was discovered, 22 days prior to my departure from Korea, that the E&I Squadron at Kelly was ...closed. AND, I was going to the Combat Comm at Tinker... house in San Antonio - work in Oklahoma...a heckofa commute. After some frantic work by our Chief Master Sergeant (they ROCK!), I was transferred to the Air Force Research lab, Optical Radiation (LASER) Branch, Non Commissioned Officer In Charge. I was going to be a LASER Technician in Tex...LaserTex.

Daily name is Doug...
