| James Mueller Pawleys Island, South Carolina | 1960-63 Worked as a Bomb/Nav Technician on B-52G's. Had a great time at SJAFB even working most of my time on the 3rd shift. Will never forget all the great softball games on base and at other SAC bases. 05/18/2008 @ 19:12 [ref: 7798] |

| John Metzger Belleville, Illinois | Was stationed at Shady-J 1976-1980 in the 334 AMU Environmental Sys. I was a day shift specialist dispatcher. Met some great maintainers their. Always went to Red Flag at Nellis and lost alot of money. Air Foce sent me to Chanute to be an instructor my last year of active duty. Got into the ART program in the AF Reserves. Worked down at Homestead AFB Fla on F-4C/D left there in 1985 to Scott AFB worked on C-9A/C, T-39, C-140 and C-40C. Now its time to retire from the ART program and be a civilian after 35+ yrs on airplanes. 10/17/2007 @ 06:34 [ref: 6404] |

| Eric Jernigan Wichita, Kansas | I was at Shady-J 81-82 and 84-86 and have a lot of fond memories...it was a good place to start my career. I'm an engine troop and I vividly remember the J79-17A engine...long live the F-4! 07/10/2007 @ 09:07 [ref: 6057] |
| Barbara Tibbs Hampton, Virginia | I was stationed at Shady J from 1980-1985, I was crew chief in the 334, 336,335 I was the best time in my career. The F4 taught me respect for the airframe. That's a true crew chief (aircraft mechanic)aircraft. When we worked we worked hard,we would party hard. Shady J was a family. Loved every day and experience. The memories of all the TDY's and 12 + hour shifts made me a stronger and more dedicated airman. 03/09/2007 @ 14:45 [ref: 5723] |

| Robert E.Wilke Henderson, Kentucky | Hi Ya'll, Served @ SJ 1974-1975 In B52 outfit, hated the place! First time I'd been part of a tenent squadron, besides SAC was a real pain for unspoken reasons. I'm also looking for a fellow trooper, Charles E. Sexton, he was from Jessamine Co. Kentucky. Been lookong for 30 years, maybe someone out there might know what happened to him. He went missing in fall of 1975, was supposed to visit us in Henderson Co., but never arrived, haven't heard from him since. There are still some Sextons' listed close to Lexington,Ky. Email if you can help. 01/28/2007 @ 14:48 [ref: 5578] |
| ken giffen, F4 instrument tech centennial, Colorado | I spent 6 yrs at SJAFB, first on the line as an avionics instrument tech on the phantom, then in the shop when the Strike Eagles landed. I worked with Art Washington and SMSGT Diehl also, loved every minute. Moved to Denver as an instructor at Lowry in 92, mustered out in 94. Still in Denver area working for USPS. Married with 2 kids, now 10 and 7, Will and Tori, respectively. He is just like his dad and she is a real charmer! Good to hear from you guys. 01/08/2007 @ 22:11 [ref: 5523] |
| Rick Kneuer Long Island, New York | I was at the Shadey J from 11/76 to 6/80 and started in the 4th Munitions Maintenance Squadron. All that was later changed into the 4th AGS The F4Es were rough on the back for loading munitions. I guess thats why we earned the name Knuckle draggers. AFSC 46250. But I wouldn't trade a minute of the time I spent there. 12/17/2006 @ 19:28 [ref: 5499] |
