I was on Tinker AFB a few times for air shows when I was a kid.
They called it DI school, possibly because you could be in it as an e-4, which I was. It sucked because is was a reserve school and I had to drive 40 miles three times a month just to make my bunk and get yelled at for 48 hours at a time. I lasted a couple months before I chose beer and chicks one weekend over that.
Was there in 19**. How did you like their oil burn building. Some pretty radical stuff at the time was that Purple K and the pump for it. Pretty kewl things were learned there, despite the repeated happy hours I endured.
DSA/dnc IS the greatest enemy in the world, of the USA. Want proof, just turn your TV on.
I'll be 74 in May....Be the good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise....

There you go. Sorry for being an ass. I was out of line.

Me too. Long shot but do you remember the two cardboard tubes sliding inside each other painted like a Redstone rocket? When you pumped them it shot out a metal machined Mercury capsule on a parachute? My cousin's dad worked there and the machining department sold those for their open house. It was way before the 69 moon landing. About the time the C-5A maint group arrived on base.
I've still got that Mercury capsule somewhere.
