| Message | Greenville AFB was about 35 miles South of where I was born & raised. I served in the Air Force from 1954 thru 1974, retiring as a Master Sergeant. During WW2 The old AT6 Texan trainer airplane was in the skies above our farm VERY OFTEN!! A year or so after I enlisted in the Air Force in late 1954 2 T33s collided above our farm with both planes crashing. Amazingly only one of the 4 pilots were killed with the other 3 pilots parachuting to safety. My Father had to run under a large tree to escape the falling debris. One of the pilots asked my Father to use his phone to call the Greenville AFB. Does anyone know of this or have any articles on this event? I would appreciate any info anyone has. I am currently working full time at Kirtland AFB, NM for Civil Service. My duty phone is 505-846-1898 My Email is [email protected] Any information would be appreciated! Thanks, Curtis |

| Message | I was stationed at Greenville for Fire Training in late 1963. I was there when President Kennndy was killed! They shut down most of the 'fun' activities for 30 days afterward. I graduated first in my class and was hoping for a Japan duty, but for the first time in several classes there were none. So, I passed on the overseas assignments and waited for a stateside pick hoping for California as I grew up there. But, NOOOOOooo again for the first time in several classes there were no California assignments available! So I ended up at Carswell AFB [SAC]in Ft. Worth Texas. That wasn't too bad as I had family there also. I also remember the segregation in Ms. that I had never seen that in California! After I got out in '67, I became a cop! LOL |

| Message | To: Carolyn Woodcock Parker I have responded to you via private email on 8-29-2012 concerning this matter. My wife researched it and came up with all the info I sent to you via private email. If you are re-posting for further information, I would appreciate your acknowledging this, as we do so much looking up and responding, that I had forgotten that I had already responded to you. And as I result, I have spent another hour this morning researching the same information. Thanks for posting, but please respond in your post that you are looking for further info or something? Thanks gary: goflesher at gmail com |

| Message | put a message up on the smith site some years ago - you have a nice expanded site on the base - I spent time at greenville in the Medical Helper Course 90010 in 1963 - I remember going out to watch the guys from the Fire Course go into the Fire practice pit and put out fires. The saying was if you took a long walk at greenville you would soon be AWOL as the Base was so small! My Father-In-Law was stationed at Greenville during WWII and trained in the BT-13. Good memories for the short time I was there - great people and a good experience for a kid from "Up North".  |

| Message | Hi George Malone, Really glad to hear from you. I did not receive a class book from 54-I as I was transferred to Victoria, TX for the last thirty days. I do remember you at GAFB. I went from Victoria to Mather AFB, CA for B-25 training. Then to James Connally AFB for four years. Great Falls, MT for four years in the KC-97. Bermuda for one year and then to Lockbur A FB, in Columbus, OH for KC-135's. Six years there with two TDY's to Clark, Kadena, Utapeo, Taklee,and Bankock. Retired out of Barksdale in 1973 as a 05. Do you know anyone else from 54-I? Are you still in Marietta? We still live in the Shreveport, LA area. Have you been to the museum at Greenville AFB? Keep in touch. Jim Norris 318-949-0296. |
