[therabbitnews]

I was there from 84-88 with MWSG-37.
I believe it was a great place to work for until the base started to wind down in 1988. I think they knew that the base was going to close then.

It wasn't bad duty , but playing rent-a-cop wasn't for me and not my MOS , besides I got tired of guarding Tricky Dick Nixon and his plane .
