Would that be Norton AFB CA?  It's kind of easy when photo is labled Norton AFB.  The planes are also marked with 63 MAW. At McChord we were the 62 MAW so sister base.

I didn't see the tag Norton... Gary, you can change the tag on the photo to confuse guys like Lorin...... You have to remember he started his AF career as an MA-1 WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Jim, Going into MA-1 Career field was one of the best things to ever happen in my career. I got a lot of training that turned into educational credits. While I was in MA-1 (1963-1970) I accumulated over 2,000 hours in a classroom. First was Tech School at Lowery AFB. Then 6 months, 4 hours a day at FTD for deeper training. Then I picked up another 5-600 hours in Factory School on Yellow Barrel, The tester we put over radome to test Radar/IR and most other system.

I used that training, by Military credits, and a few other courses and got an associate degree with only 5 English/Social Studies classes.

After I finished Flight Simulator training and 3 years as Instructor I added a second Associate Degree.

So I and probably most other MA-1 Weeeeene's were glad to get the Label and we wear it well.

Now what were we talking about?
