Rose, Leonard, CMSgt

I retired from the USAF in 1978 and  the DOD/Treasury/State Departments Federal Law Enforcement Divisions (GS-13) in 1998. 

Since then I have been enjoying flying, boating, and building 1950's style hot rods. I also have some muscle/antique/classic cars, a Harley and a boat.  In my spare time I enjoy woodworking projects.  I also am doing a total remodel on my Lady friends house.  That's not as much fun as the other stuff though.

I stay in touch with comrades I was stationed with from 1960 to 1963 at RAF Sculthorpe, England and the 7108 TFW NJ ANG, (called-up during the Berlin Crisis) in France.

In 1962 many of the 47th Special Weapons personnel deployed to the four ANG bases in France (Chaumont, Chambley, Phalsburg and Etain) to relieve the ANG of their aircraft and send them home. The active duty unit was then designated the 366TFW and re-deployed to Holloman AFB, NM in 1963.  Many of the old 47th A&E personnel remained being assigned together well into the mid-sixties.
