Detail : Started out at Greenville in Class 53-C somewhere around April 1952. About a month before graduation from Basic I had to have my appendix removed in the Greenvill Hospital and was set back a class to 53D. Would love to hear from anyone in either Class. |

Detail : Personnel Specialist Tech School Dec 61- March of 62. Snowed that winter for the first time in 50 years. Frozen pipes, extra blankets, sleeping in fatigues. Lots of fun. Great Airmans club, band called the Bad Habits. Made lots of friends mostly Firefighters from their Tech School. We all eventually were assigned to Evreux-Fauville AB, France, about 50 miles from Paris. Did 3 years there and THAT was really fun. Nice to see Greenville again. |

Detail : A former member of the 3505th AP Squadron passed away recently. Arnold M. Howard served at Greenville AFB from approximately late 1956 to approximately mid 1959. He worked in the Pass and Registration branch of the AP Squadron. Arny passed away Jul 28, 2008 in England and he was returned to San Antonio, TX for internment at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetary on Aug 15, 2008. You may not remember him but I guarantee you one thing, if you had any business with the Pass and Registration office, you met him then. |

Detail : I was stationed at GAFB in 1963 in the Air Craft Crash Training School . I was then sent to Dyess AFB in Abilene Texas. Went to Vietnam 3 times. What a place. The water was so soft that you could not wash clothes without sudsing the whole room Ha.... It was tough but I loved it.
It was a great place to learn humility. Roger |

Detail : Hi: I was in the Medical Helper course in early 1963 (March to April). Does anyone remember the SSgt. who used to say, \"I want you to know and understand......\" which was his way of telling you that information would be on the upcoming test. Great times in Greenville. |

Detail : Hello Out there!! Looking for those women stationed there in the years 1944-1945. Would love for them to join this reunion so I can meet up again with them. October would be fine, to see the young ones who experienced Greenville and those of us who knew it during the WWII. And especially wanting to know about the great Capt. Haerr, commander of the WAC, and later General. |

Detail : Was in medic school at GAFB when Pres. Kennedy was shot. I remember an NCO running into class to tell us he was dead. I also remember the racial prejudice in the town of Greenville, with separate drinking fountains, waiting rooms, schools, etc. I hope things are better now.

Detail : Thanks for this nice site I came across as I perused the Class of ´67 Reunion site looking for old friends. My father, Edward M. Guss, was at the base in the late 1940s early 1950s where he met my mom, Catherine Elizabeth Mackey Bond who worked at the PX. He was a musician, percussion, in the band. I know very little about his time there, but I remember even as a very small child - I was born in 1950 - that the Air Force Base brought diverse people into the Delta and was such a vital part of Greenvill´s heritage, it was a very special addition to our lives and the people it brought us from everywhere. It was a kinder and gentler time, wasn´t it? Should I find his Air Base pictures, I will scan and upload. Searching my "archives" requires finding all the trunks of pictures. More later, Sydney Guss McWilliams |

Detail : My father, George Gregory Wylie was in the Army/Air Force during WWII and served at GAFB, in turn met my mother Lois Lavelle (Ready) Wylie and then married. My mother´s father, Lawrence Bracy Ready also worked at the base for a long time as a mechanic as well. When the base closed down in the 60´s ?, I really missed the the sounds of the Air Force in the air. |
