I was born at Kuma Station in1961, we moved back in 1967 .This brought back many memories for me ,Thanks. I recently retired and would love to go back to my birth place
After finishing a tour @Sinop where I helped install a Bankhead system, originally assembled by LTV Electro-systems of Greenville, TX., my "reward" was to ease out of the Army here in Chitose! Again, it was our task to upgrade the old Collins built system, and upgrade it with all new components that were installed, Fall of '67. I got my start in the I/T business, operating & maintaining a SDS mini-computer. This background managed to feed, house, clothe & etc., me & mine until I retired in 2012! Good friends were made, as were fantastic memories! I regret not returning for a visit, a few years ago when travel was more
I was there TDY twice 61 & 62 with the Installation team. We stayed in the old Trans NCO Qtrs. Quonset Huts. Saw when they started some Motor Cycle Scrambles. I really enjoyed my stays there. They opened a new Chapel next to the Club.
This is really great. It really brings back some terrific memories and experiences. I remember the now on my May birthday. Unbelievable amount of snow. Great fun, great friends that have lasted 50+ years.
Stationed with me at the time were Don Williams, the Country and Western performer and Ernie Holsendolph, award winning journalist. There was also a baseball player, whose name I can't remember, that became a big league pitcher.
Wow!!!!! Thanks You are very gifted. I really appreciate it. Now I have something to share with my Children and Grandchildren. A glimpse into the past...
brings back alot of good times. was there june 66 to oct 67. diddybopper of course. dont remember what trick I was in. bowling alley and .25 cent hot dogs and night. John Jennings , spec 4 when i left for phu bia VN. 1967 lots of my friends went there also.
I did some contract work in 2000 for the SDF in Chitose and got to wander around in the city on my off time, so I think I went down some of those alleys. Things sure changed on Hokkaido after the US left.

You were on Trick 4
When you got to 8rru was the antenna field still in operation? Our team built the antennas June 1966 to Dec 1966
I did some contract work in 2000 for the SDF in Chitose and got to wander around in the city on my off time, so I think I went down some of those alleys. Things sure changed on Hokkaido after the US left.
that's a very good compilation - wintry snow and all.
Thanks Glen!
