From Year 1963
To Year 1966
Personal Memories
Voodoo 101 used at Suffolk County AFB - ADC Commander Colonel Gabreski - WWII and Korean Ace. Colonel Gabreski shot down 34.5 enemy aircraft. I was attached to the 52nd Security Police Squadron which was part of the 98th FIS. My duties included the security and safe keeping of F-101 Interceptors and the missles and other ordinance for the aircraft. I was very proud of my aircraft, ordinance and the safe keeping of SCAFB under the Base Commander's leadership (Colonel Gabreski)
March 1963 - February 1966 - I was stationed at SCAFB on Long Island, NY, USA. I left in March 1966 to go to Phan Rang, Vietnam.
