Anybody home? Iwas 1839th from 1979 - 1984
I worked for Sgt VanHuss and PY Galloway when I first arrived. My Team chiefs were: Eddie Williams, Clyde Flowers, Mitch Mitchner. Also workd with a civilian, Carry Amos.
We must have crossed paths. Back then I was a 361X1. School was at Shepard Texas. I flew into Mobile, from Shepard. Had to take a bus to Keesler; my introduction to Mississippi weather. I lived in Bldg. 4910, offices were at Maltby hall. Ring any bells?

Not many E&I guys from 1839 posting. Hope the word gets out. I was there from 83-87. I worked for Sgt Westerhold in the beginning when MSgt Anderson was still there. PY was there also. I also worked for Andy Moore and Fred ?
That was/had to be Fred Lumbert, Civilian when I met him, retired USAF.
Wow, does the 1839th stilll exist? I mean with Katrina hitting the area, and of course the constant reorganizing.....I remember when I arrived, we were in the "Air Force Communications SERVICE", then it went to COMMAND.....Somewhere I thought I saw the E&I was absorbed into another Command?

Bob the wildman, I remember him drinking a bottle of Tabasco on a bet..... I saw Lineman in '82, '83. He was torn between taking an assignment in Mass. somewhere, and getting out altogether.
The 1839th was dropped from a Group to a Sqd I think it is 315th E&I Sqd now will get a Keesler News next week and reply with the correct new numbers.. I was a 362x1 instructor at Sheppard 1978-81 and when I got assingment was changed to my other AFSC of Ground Radio. I was in Radio when assigned to the 1839th ,1985 -1989 when i retired Ed Flanagan, dep_ed@yahoo.com
Hey Ron, I was at Keesler from 81-84, was on Andy Moore's team with John Campbell, Apadoca, Knowlton, Raphael, and a civilian whose name escapes me now(must be from all the lead work) but he smoked like a chimmney. I beleive we went on some of the same TDY's, Eglin, Patrick; good times always. I'm now at Edwards AFB Transmission Media, later
Man brings back great memories. Wonder who Doc is tormenting now. I think you might be talking about Charlie Weinacker. So how are things going for you.
Yep, its still here. Got here in 91' as 1939th EIG, then to AFMC and 738th EIS dropping to a SQ and then on to the 85th EIS with ACC. Now just waiting for DOD to release AF CYBER and we are headed there. Fred retired in the local area and I still see him from time to time. Wasn't here during ya'lls era but we are still digging ditches.
