Thanks,  My step-father worked with Von Braun and company after WW11 developing some of the early missles.

That's kinda neat, looking at all the old stuff from the 50's & 60's. Back in the late 50's and into the 60's I worked on the GAM-77, i.e., the Houndog. My work was in the shop, doing bench repair & alignment of the computer and the internal systems on the missile. That computer was the size of a suitcase, really state of the art at the time. Now, Ipods have more capability...amazing to see how far we've "advanced." Often wondered what happened to some of the shop-mates back then...Loring AFB outside of Caribou, ME. Lovely place.....10 months of winter, 2 months of poor sledding.

It would have been a good assignment if it hadn't been for the idiot that was the NCOIC of the shop. When I got discharged, I referred to him as the DAIC(kinda PO'd him, that's Dumb.....IC). Sgt. Kanavich and his pet airmen. If you weren't one, you didn't get any promotions or rotated off the graveyard. I was finally able to transfer out of the shop into Job Control....no pets there, and the colonel in charge called all the men by their first name. And the best part....my old shop HAD to do my bidding.  Grin
