Comments: Initially assigned to "B" Flight (T/Sgt Clyde Siltzer), our commander was Major Norman Wightman, Captain "Fast Eddie" Drury was the Ops Officer and M/Sgt Leonard Fuglesang was the Ops NCOIC. Due to rennovation of barracks 750, "B" Flight spent three months living in quonset huts (the latrine was across the street) at the 'bridge. I transfered to K-9 (trained at Debden) and worked for two kennel masters: M/Sgt Glen Parscal and M/Sgt Lester E. Osman. We provided distant support for the F4's in the VA on both sides of the "woods" (where 50 unauthorized tents were found during the summer of '72), the CAS (a lot of lumber was pilfered to build new obstacles for our pups) and the SAS (home of the tower 15, tower 16 and 10 million rabbits). On the side of the road, just off-base, was the truck where you could get the best Fish&Chips in East Anglia and the flight-line snack bar sported great milkshakes. We won the base fast-pitch championship in '73 (K-9 had five of the nine starters). The guys I remember: David Ortiz, Tom Hurlburt, Ken Parent, Billy McMurray, Bob Crankshaw, Kim Cherms, Willie C. Burney, Arthur Ledbetter, James Tucker, Mike Jeffery, Jim "Big Banks" Banks, Douglas Scott and Gerald "Cowboy" Putin. Thirty plus years.........it was only yesterday!

Comments: Bentwaters experience was so excellent that Davis Monthan sucked in comparison. I bailed out on the "early out" option one year after leaving the UK. No one really believed my stories (despite pictures) until the Spangdalem Germany ABGD exercise in May '85 when the BW team started shouting "Fetus T!!" as some of us from DM were wandering around the tents. Valvo and Woody still owe me for the motorcycle I left with them to sell. Maybe I'll expand my thoughts in the forum. I see a lot of the guys but Flash Lashbrook seems as forgotten as I was. That's what we get for not using our house for the parties. I still have pictures of the aftermath at 280 Norwich after one party. Gil League, John Richards, Valvo and Woody did know how to host a party.

Then I was transfered to Woodbridge and assigned to D Flight Security till January of 71. Lived on & off base. Comments: I worked for TSgt Knuckles ( what a hump ) and lived in room 44. Roomed with a guy named Murphy and to this day we speak to each other every week and see each other at least 2-3 times a year. We had a pass word to gain entrance to our room, ( well more like an action) you tapped your fingers lightly on the door. Had some of the best times of my life there. Did and saw some of the strangest things while I was there. I went by the name of VAN. Some of the people I remember are Bob Murphy, Dan Grannan, Bob Leone, Danny Tiller, Joe Rowe, P.J. Colmen, Felix Tapia, Greg Fields, Nick Natoli, Jim Wessels, George (Spidey) Dixon, T.A. Brown, J.B. Brown, Maclurcan, Bennett, Randal (Rock) Amstutz, George Thom, Nick ( Beep) Beverly, Jim Hendrix, Larry Livingston, Strieter, Dan Black, Conway, Gook, Dennis Menges and last but not least John Maccaronio. Ran Ipswich or the Smoke with all these guys one time or another. I probably got a funny story or two about each and every one of them. Always lots of laughs, some times you would have to pull your face cheeks down. We definitely partied hard. Any one who knew Murph and I please feel free to contact me. We also lived at the corner of Woodbridge Road and Christchurch Street in Ipswich. Did way too much paryting there, NOT.

Just 5 pounds would get you from base to Ipswich with the famous JJ's Cabs. I remember ditching a cab with Mongo, Smitty and Jay at the Woodbrige cop dorm lol that was fun but we got caught. I remember D Flight through a couch out of the day room of the third floor at the Bentwaters cop dorm. Boy did they get in trouble. Last but not least our Commander 9 feet tall LtCol Oliver Towns!! What a guy.

Comments: I worked in the investigations section. Recognized many names here. Shout out to all you peeps from the 80s. I know you still have some of those weird white washed jeans just waiting for a comeback. I retired from the AF in 95. Worked in city PD for a few years, then went federal. Currently a federal special agent. Bentwaters/Woodbridge... what a great assignment... Does anyone out there know where I can find some highly trained attack geese? My best memories of my assignment were of the shooting matches with the British cops. Those British cops were some crazy, partying, dead eye maniacs. Especially those blokes from Sheffield... Man those were the days.

I understand it was his first flight at the base and he had a family. My best buddies were Jim Baker, Bob Strope and Gene Demers (L/E). Hung at the bowling ally and the Rendezvous. Had some great times in London and Felixtowe.

God bless you all. Thank you for the kind comments Andy & welcome!.
