Memories For This Unit
Best Friends "Brownie" Brown	Best Moment Returning to Korea.

Worst Moment Getting assigned to, and having to stay, in this unit.	Chain of Command 83rd Troop Carrier reported to 437th Troop Carrier Wing. Then they in turn reported to 315 Combat Cargo Gp.

Other Memories Brownie and I were sent to augment the electronics shop. The unit was a Reserve outfit out of O'Hare Field in Chicago, called to active duty, but were short on certain personnel. The discipline, conduct, bearing, and everything associated with a military unit was not only missing, it was unheard of. Cronyism and nepotism were rampant, and I tried every way I could to get back in the AF. Return to Korea finally did it.
