fire brakes. Then there was
the 3 miles to the radar location as well. Batalion was In pasadina think it is C.I.A. now.
Fort Mac was so cool right
at the Harbor on north end of San Pedro. I understand It Is long gone now. I went for a visit

Anyway, being assigned to the Los Angeles Missile Master was probably some of

I was at Fort Funston on the 90mm Guns when the nike battery was organized at Fort funston.
I was not trained on the Nike as were most of the personell who came in from Fort Bliss
but was intergrated into the missile program. I served at Fort Funston from Oct. 1953 Until
april 1955.
My primary mos was that of a missile launch crewman and secondary duty was supply assistant
to Sgt Virgil Brady.and Sgt Dominidor Manio.
My commanding officer was Arthur Voss and My supply officer Was 1st.Lt Mahan(he also served
in other capacities
as we were under strength) - and remember too the trips from Milagra Hill launch site down
the narrrow mountain
road for showers at Fort Funston.Returned to San Francisco in 1991, but could find no remains
of old Fort Funston.
Would like to hear from anyone who served there during this time period.

As a 24P40 (Acq RADAR mech ) I was primarily assigned

was assigned to a HAWK missile unit (HQ-2nd-71st) in Korea for 13 months
(better than going to Nam I guess). ... here's one of the pages I have on the
web about the Hawk RADAR site. It links to a story I wrote for some "Jeep

I enlisted when I turned 17 in November 1964 and was in boot camp in Fort Polk in La… Did
my AIT at Presidio San Francisco….I was assigned to A-1-61 at Travis AFB about March of ’65…
The unit was about 10 miles outside of Travis.. while there I did a lot of KP and 24 hour
duty and Drills…. And I still had time to visit a lot of city’s in California……
My MOS was 16b20. The unit I was at was really good for a young kid to learn about the
Army and start learning to be an Adult.. In late April of ’66 I received orders for
South Korea and just like the Army,, I was home on leave 48 hours later…….

Ft Bliss they were closing down that sites around Kansas City so I was given
my second choice of San Francisco. I was stationed a Battery B?s sister site
Battery C north east of Travis AFB. I got there in the beginning of September
of 1968 as a wide eyed 20 year old. I spent the next 3 plus years stationed
there I left in January 1971 to go to Ft. Monmouth. While there I meet my wife
who I am still married to and have many fond memories of my time there.

I was a radar operator, MOS 179.00 until 12 August 1961 then 179.10.
I was one of the TTR operators.
In 1961, the IFC had a major upgrade, the grounds were a muddy mess
from the buried cabling. A general was coming to inspect the IFC area.
We were in dress uniforms and military formation to great our visitor.
The General’s helicopter landed on a big open muddy field. As the general
exited the helicopter, the blades began to tilt toward us. The general had
his feet on the or near the ground when the pilot took action to avoid
crashing and possibly killing a bunch of us. As the helicopter lifted,
it straightened and threw the general face first into the mud.
He was stunned but not injured, however his uniform was a mess,
and he was to appear at the Cromwell dedication later in the day.
First Sargent Kehoe, who was about the same size, lent him a uniform,
of course it was an NCO uniform not an officers, but it served the
purpose and the general was able to attend the ceremony. We were later
told, the general had hit a control causing the copter blades to tilt,
however, the helicopter pilot was disciplined for the unfortunate event.
