Hi, my name is Chuck Mumpower & I'm from Bristol. VA.  I was at Bentwaters from 06/1985 to 06/1987.  I lived on base & my first roommate was Shelton Holley in the old barracks. When we moved across the road I lived with Dave Thabet and then Alvin King.  I had some great & bad times at Bentwaters but I'll always treasure the memories of all the guys & gals I worked with. We had some great parties & plenty of fun hanging out.  After Bentwaters I was at Altus AFB, OK.  I left Altus & the Air Force in April 1988.

I then started my career with the Virginia State Police making it to the rank of Sergeant.  I was injured in a car crash in 2005 and had to retire due to my injuries.  I have two boys ages 20 and 15.  I spend alot of my time with my youngest son and his sporting events.  My favorite hobby is camping and hanging out with my family and friends and 3 dogs.  I currently reside in Virginia and plan to stay here.  I would love to here from some of my old friends that I haven't spoke to since I left England, so drop me an email.
Hello this is Linda Barr, most individuals would remember me as Linda Kerr who married Capt Raymond "Dale" Kerr, D Flt Shift Commander.  I started (1977-1979) in the SP Training Section, but moved to Pass and ID.  I have many memories of Bentwaters, but the one that clearly stands out is..On our wedding night Dale had to meet Major "Wild Bill" Doran at the Constables' station to "bailout" most of D Flight.  They had been arrested for a major drug deal.

We left Bentwaters in 1979 and I followed Dale's military career around the world for over 20 years.  I left active duty while at Bentwaters and started working for the Office of Special Investigations (OSI) as a civilian which lasted for over 20 years. 
Dale and I divorced many years back and I've since remarried another Security Police Officer (retired) in 2006.  I now work for a major casino (Caesars Palace).  I have two grown children:  Raymond who is a Capt in the AF/Engineer and Crystal who is a Realtor.  Of a special note my son redesigned the gates for the Security Police while at Nellis.

the guys from C Flt, 1966-67-68 when we were together. They've found 5 or 6 &  that's when they learned that John Stoler had passed away. Bloke & Ski showed up on my doorstep on Memorial Day & said "found ya".. all these years and crazy as ever.
