    If I weren't supposed to shoot guns, why did God give me trigger fingers?

    There's a point in your life when you get tired of trying to fix everything and trying to make everyone happy. When you finally decide to quit, it's NOT giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and the bullshit they bring to your life.

    I was a...

    AGM28 Houndog electronics missile tech at Griffiss AFB NY, 1966-67. Then I was shipped to U Tapao AB Thailand where I was a pylon electronics tech with the 4358 MMS, 1967-68. I shipped to K I Sawyer AFB MI where I again was a AGM28 Houndog electronics tech, 1968-72. I cross trained to the ADM20C Quail missile at the same location, 1972-76. I got out in 1976 when my ears got so bad they disqualified me from working in a hazardous noise area.....chris3

    My Grandfather was at K.I. Sawyer during the end of his career (by that point he was a reservist, I believe). He was Air Force and some sort of Col. (sadly I don't know exactly what, I never got to meet him).

    coppertales.......I am really curious about your time at KI Sawyer. If you ever met my grandfather or at least heard stories about him, I really want to know.


    I never got to meet him and it would mean a lot to me........



    PM me (I'm not gonna mention his name so it ends up all over the net)



    I am not bullshitting you, GNS knows my full name and where I live.....


    I really want to know anything about him I can, from a non-family members (if that makes sense)
