I WAS A MEMBER OF THE 163RD FROM 1967 TO 1973. THIS VIDEO BRINGS BACK MANY GREAT TIMES. I WORKED IN AIR COMM, WITH PETE FERRARO, ANDY ANDERSEN, BILL QUINN, RICK BEAN AND OTHERS I CANNOT RECALL ALL THE NAMES. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.

I served here from 1968 to 1974 in the Machine Shop under Jack King. I was a Machinist and Air Frame Repairman. I am lucky in that I maintain contact with some of my friends who also served. The Guard was good to me and I have used the training I recieved for the past 40+ years. I am still a Machinist.

Youtube blocked my audio because it contained a Madona song. I will soon post a link containing the full version soon. Sorry for the audio issue.

Same here. I use go out there with my dad and play in the electric shop. Those were my first real lessons with electronics. I was so young back then...would do anything to relive those days. (just like in the video)... where does the time go?... sucks getting old.

Good video. I use to work on Grove. I drove past this facility on my way to and from work. I did not realize it closed in 1985. Interesting history.
