George Callahan,
Bitburg, Feb '66-Apr '69 (Shutdown)
L.O.: Edward A. Clark
Crew Chief: Geovano J. Nozolino
Tech 4 Pwr Pro: John Vining.
Spent my time on a launch crew as a Tech-3.
Lots of good memories. Great people..I was new in the A.F., and got my start with the 71st TMS.
Spent 30 yrs in the A.F. I bet not many days went by I didn't think, "what would Nozolino do?" Remember when the new grade of Sgt was re-assigned on 1 March '69. I made Sgt that day. Nozolino took me to the NCO Club, to the NCO bar, and bought me my first drink as a new NCO, and explained how much growing up I had to do. Made me write my APR as a SGT (Training he said), I must have written that thing 10 times before he finally said "with some work, it will do" He was tough, but I learned. Showed me often guys like Ed Davis, Dave Getter, and some I forget, sorry...
Got a call from John Vining (tech 4) last week, and then Gil Merriman (tech 5), have to call Gil back.
After shutdown was assigned to F.E.Warren in Minuteman. Had a career in that! Did get to go to Russia for the S.T.A.R.T. treaty, and what did they have? Missiles like our Matador and Mace in 1988 & 1989!
Have been in touch with Steve Rozic over the years, and Ken Bunker.
Will check in more often.
Respectfully,

I am a 60-year-old Air Force brat who researches UFO sightings at nuclear weapons sites. My father, SMSgt. Robert E. Hastings, was career USAF and was stationed at Malmstrom AFB in 1966-67, where UFO sightings at ICBM sites were frequent at the time. That sparked my interest in the subject.
Over the past 37 years I have interviewed more than 120 former or retired USAF personnel who had UFO experiences at ICBM sites, WSAs, or other nukes-related locations. However, to date, I have not been able to locate anyone with a tactical nuclear missile background who had a UFO experience while on the job. Nevertheless, I suspect those individuals do indeed exist.
I was on Larry King Live on July 18, 2008. Appearing with me were three former U.S. Air Force officers who discussed disturbing incidents involving UFOs hovering over our nuclear missile sites, just moments before those missiles malfunctioned.
The King show video is on YouTube at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIYpdBJxxdI
I am wondering whether YOU had a UFO experience while in the Air Force? If so, would you be willing to tell me about it? Your response will be kept strictly confidential unless you give me written permission to publicly discuss it.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Yeah, I was a "typhoon crew volunteer" in 64-65. We had all the "comforts of home" in the missile compound--lights and everything, even popcorn! I got caught "off island" by a typhoon in 65 and couldn't get back, 4 of us from GSC were on a 2-week vacation in Taiwan and they wouldn't let any flights back in.

Gene, per my understanding, the 586th MMS designation was suspended 25 Sept. 1962 and reinstated 1 July 1964.
So, before 25 Sept. 1962 and after 1 July 1964, you were assigned to the 586th MMS.
From 25 Sept. 1962 until 1 July 1964, you were assigned to the 38th MMS DET 2.

As you have noted, many 38th TAC Missile Wing Special Orders (e.g., promotion orders) span more than one base. That's why you may find names of people that served at Hahn, etc. listed on 38th TMW orders that I have posted on www.SembachMissileers.org.

I received orders in October 1962 assigning me to the 586th MMS at Hahn Air Base. Sometime during the first part of 1963 we were renamed Detachment 2 38th MMS. I have orders awarding me the Good Conduct Medal issued by the 50th Tact Fighter Wing on 26 July 1963 for personnel assigned to Det 2 38th MMS at Hahn. When I was reading some of the old orders on this web site, I see some names of guys I worked with on promotion orders in 1965 issued by 38th Tac Msl Wing at Sembach and they were listed as being assigned to the 586th MMS. Anybody know why the difference in unit desiganation? What were we ,586th MMS or Det 2 38th MMS?

Dayton - '09 was my first reunion. My oh my, words don't describe the elation I have experienced at the reunion. Each detail was worked to perfection. Those who didn't attend sure missed a grand time by all. Thanks to everyone for their endless hospitality in making me (an ole MAST supply guy) feel "right at home." I apologize for giving credit to others who worked tirelessly on this on.
I'm still soliciting further info on the "Chapel Angels" in the picture from Sembach, Dec 1961. If anyone knows the names of the children in the choir, I'd be happy to hear from them. If you didn't see the picture, contact me and I'll send a copy in an email.
Thanks again for a fabulous reunion. I look forward to San Diego.

Another great job by the Officers of the group. Especially the women who gave of their time and talents. I am referring to the Dayton reunion. I was able to make some new friends and renew my friendship with some of my older friends. I wish the best of everything to the new Officers elected at the business meeting. For those of you that could not attend you missed another great reunion. I still cannot get the sound of those after burners out of my ears on the Thunderbirds when they passed over our heads while performing their routines. Best to all you guys out there.... Take care.

Great web page, lots of Sembach people, but not many Oki folks. Guess we all just died off... I was AGE maint for a few years (63-67) and then on crew 26 at site 3. Left for Little Rock (Titan II) for 18 months and then back (first a few weeks at Denver for school and got to see some of the old guys (Capt. Best who was the best!!!) Back to Oki and on crew 31 at site 4 until shutdown and after. I remember putting manicans on the bus to make it look like crew members. I was also on duty when the Peoublo went. Thanks for the rememinder of the shape charge mixup orders. What a night that was.
