Thanks. I was a 2818 "Tactical Office Machine Repairman"1973-1977

I bounced all over Okinawa, because I did not have the "Fixed Plant" Mod 28 Teletype Machine and KG-13 "Pontus" training at the time. I was at Camp Schwab in 1975. I do remember the communications center with I believe two Mod 28's over a Microwave Net. Thank God I did not have to repair it.

Great peacetime experience (I was not there) for a young man; however, I don't miss it much.

These are the days. Thank you sir.

@ChowHallCommando I was there as a Corpsman in !979 and I also remember the USO have excellent Yakasoba. Camp Schwab was a beautiful base. I ate at the 1st Tracks Chow Hall or sometimes at 3/9.

That definitely is the former HQ I used to get stuck with duty runner, hand carrying messages up the hill to Regt. HQ The smaller building next door was our S-2 shop, the S&C shop and the guard room.
