Best Moment Being the operational crew that first successfully tested the MB-1 Genie rocket. Going to Frenchman's Flats, NV for A-bomb test monitoring.
Worst Moment None, to speak of.
Chain of Command 3208th Test Sqdn reported to 3208th Test Grp who reported to AF Armament Center. They reported to Air Proving Ground Command.
Other Memories I was assigned to site A-3 on the strip of sand they called Santa Rosa Island. This was a dual-radar system site who controlled, scored, safety-monitored missions to test new and developing AF weapons systems. We also directed and scored other USAF units that wished to drop live ordnance. There were several sites in the Southern Sector, but the 5 on the beach had the best missions. Many of the missions were night bombing runs, but we also tracked missiles that were being developed. Because of my experience in Korea, I was utilized many times as controller although we had assigned controllers. Work was good.
