Flight Line---Pease AFB.We were put on immediate Alert Duty.I was in the Strategic Air Command.My first thoughts were selfish!
My parents were visiting that night & taking my girlfriend(now wife)out to a resturant.I had to call the base,every 1/2 hr.,& confirm my location.(I was on a team that had to have extra bags
&tools packed & had to have innoculations,to go any place in the
world.My first thought was that I was "pissed" because my
personal plans were screwed up.I was on what was called
"Mobility"!They(the Govt.)didn't know if it was a plot against the
USA. Irish P.S. I was in from 17-21 yrs of age)I graduated High
School at 17 & enlisted (approx)2 mo later.
