| Preparing to load an AIR-2A Genie rocket! Pity the poor 'C' man as he had to do the 'pumping' (and we're not trying to be dirty here!) to get this thing into the bay. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| DON'T DO IT, JAKE!!! DON'T!! Oops!!.....too late!! Seriously, Steve 'Jake' Jacobson takes the oath for another four year stint in the USAF. Judging from the uniforms and the subdued nametags, etc., this must have taken place in the early 1980s, right, Jake? Note the subdued version of the 87th's patch on Jake's pocket. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Outside the 87th Weapons Shop with Jimmy Millerbernd (center, holding paper) and Jim Evans (hands on hips--at least we think it's Jim Evans!) The person in the blue denim jacket on the jacket is Ed Kemp while the passenger is unidentified. (What??? No helmet?? On an Air Force Base???) Anyway, good ol' Sgt Millerbernd probably taught close to 90 percent of the 87th weapons troops of the 19776-1980 era how to load the -106. (He was on the Load Standardization Crew (LSC)). Thanks, Jimmy--we think!! | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Ed Kemp with a buddy, Mr. Air2A Genie, in the Weapons Shop, circa 1978. Ed reported that he was the first A1C in ADC to become a weapons load crew chief. | |||||||||||||||||||||
