I'm a brat. My father was a meteorologist at various SAC bases. He retired as a bird colonel and spent some pretty good years enjoying life before he died. Can't tell you how many times we moved in 30 years. No complaints from me.

mikester said he loved being on bases, to this very day, I still feel at home when I'm on a military base or what was a base. Great times sneakin into the stag bar at the "O" club , on the way to the post theater for a movie. Trip to the movies was $.50 and that included popcorn, snowcaps and admission. Rode my bike over to the flight line on Sat and watched the B47's take off w/ jato assist. You could feel it in your stomach. Used to love it when they scrambled the alert crews for practice, at least you hoped it was for practice. Very exciting place to grow up.
