Replying to a message of TIM RICHARDSON to BOB ACKLEY: BA>> I have to note that in the late 1960s, BA>> the paperwork and orders originated for my outfit came from the BA>> 6970th Support Group at Fort Meade, MD, and had that address on all BA>> its correspondence, BA>orders and forms; at the time my unit was BA>> located on Okinawa, just about halfway around the world from the BA>> 6970th. TR> I recieved various things of an official nature from different TR> commands in the Army when I was in that were issued here in the TR> states somewhere, and I was in Vietnam, 14 thousand miles away. So TR> what? TR> I took basic at Ft Dix, NJ, but I was discharged at Ft Lewis, WA. And TR> it says Ft Lewis, WA on my discharge. At the time of separation I presume you were physically located at Fort Lewis. TR> Why would Sauer's discharge be issued at Lackland Air Force Base if he TR> was at Lowry in Colorado? Because the parent unit with the personnel/command function was at Lackland rather than Lowry. Hundreds, probably thousands, of AF people were separated at Travis AFB, CA, and at Dover AFB, DE, even though they'd never been stationed there. These were people who had only a few months remaining on their hitches when their overseas tours were up, and it was cheaper to discharge them on arrival at the port than move them to some stateside base for a couple of months and then discharge them there. --- FleetStreet 1.19+* Origin: Bob's Boneyard, Emerson, Iowa (1:300/3) SEEN-BY: 10/1 3 34/999 120/228 123/500 140/1 226/0 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 SEEN-BY: 261/100 1381 1404 1406 1418 266/1413 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 SEEN-BY: 633/267 712/848 801/161 189 2222/700 2320/100 105 2905/0 @PATH: 300/3 14/5 140/1 261/38 633/260 267 |
