THE YEAR 1972 U.S. AIR FORCE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAC HEADQUARTERS OMAHA, NEBRASKA

This will take you back a "few" years to 1972 when I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Omaha, Nebraska home of the SAC Underground Command Post. I was assigned to the Fire Department after cross-training from the SAC Guard, part of the Security Police assigned to duty at the underground command post.

That video was fantastic. I was stationed at the FD from March of 1972 until January of 1974. I ended getting out on The Palace Chase program. I had a great time when I was in the USAF. I ended uip making Firefighting my career when i got out of the USAF. I Retired from Hopkins Airport FD as an Aircraft Firefighter/EMT back in April of 2004. It was great seeing the guys that I use to work with at the FD and I still remembered most of there names. The video brought back some great memories.

I was there from Jan 71 to Jan 72, was never so glad to leave a place. "A blow for SAC is a Suck for Freedom."

Almost forgot, that was Mr. Guyet towards the the end of video and the black guy smileing in the truck is airman Mckinny. On sat. nites at the station we watched creature double feature hosted by Dr. Sanguanary. , and Im real sure that was Sgt. Hoke in the P2 doeing line stand by

Noel backing in the 750a pumper, Sgt Jones talking to unidentified, Airman Roach or Broach talking to Mr. Himline who was a gs 6 or 8, on the bicycle, in the part filmed at station 2 in Capehart base houseing I cant make them out buton that shift was Mr. Haugen, crew chief, SSGT. Helikson driver, it looked like Sgt. Hoke doing line standby in truck, by the way.
