| Message | I had two tours at KI with the 69th Munitions Maintenance Squadron of the 410th Bomb Wing. The first was from November 1969 to May 1971. I came back to KI after a year at U-Tapao AF Thailand and was stationed there until I separated from the USAF as a Captain in June 1973. I have lots of memories of those tours, many of which have grown rosier as the years pass. I'll never forget the 220 inches of snow the first winter I was there. My wife and I are thinking of visiting the base this summer, just for fun. |

| Message | This was my first base after basic. I was there in 1964 & 1965. AFSC 90350. Xray Technologist. 806 Medical Group. It seemed like I was at the hospital all the time. There were usually only 3 or 4 xray techs a lot of the time, but still I have a lot of good memories there. Any old medics from that era? |

| Message | K.I. Sawyer AFB was my 1st base out of Basic. I lived in Western MI, Grand Rapids, all my life and was called into the USAF to continue my opportunity to extend my education. Rec'd my training in Av/Comm and reported to the 87th on 01Jan1977. The temp I recalled was somewhere around -25 degrees F. I thought I remembered working and training with SSgt. Elmer Klein (Instruments) and Sgt. Mike Jacobson and SSgt. Davenport, who were my trainers. I remember having my wisdom teeth yanked and a roommate who just happened to be an EMT and provided some much needed pain relief that knocked me out for about 36 hours. I went many places while enjoying the U.P. Attended a Methodist Church in Negaunee, named Mitchell. Went fishing, cross country 4-wheeling with friends. It was the greatest 18 months learning what being a Single Airman meant to help me get to know myself. I took many pictures and I've been trying to post them as I go through and scan them to digital format. I've been enjoying the I Survived K.I. Sawyer AFB on Facebook and the Convair F-106 Delta Dart Page group also. I know I liked Russ St. Onge and have been following him and his Antarctic trek. Hoping to be able to return this summer with my wife to see the Museum and other places in the UP. Thanks for letting me reminisce. ![]() |
