I was at King Fahad IAP, Saudi Arabia, turning A-10s for missions. Many SCUDs dropped in the first few nights as I remember, all intercepted by Patriots. Our "tent commander" knocked himself out running through a dark tent to the bunker. Most of us were relieved that war had finally started...Desert Shield was mostly filling sand bags and chem warfare drills.

We (E-3/E-4 Crew Chiefs) had no idea what the big picture was, just work/sleep/fix jets. I had to watch video tapes when I got home to get perspective. No Internet/cell phones/sat tv for us in them days. Not the case at the super-bases in the AOR now.
