One Of My Memories

[donwon]

Several of us were on the tow crew on swing shift and got off a little early and 5 of us went to town.

We were down in the hotel distrect talking when an MP came around the corner and saw us.

We all took off in different directions. One hid under a car, 2 went in a hotel and the momason wouldn\'t let the

MP,s go in with their boots on.

One went up some outside stairs and was gonna jump but got hung up on something and he was upside down he got cought.

I took out running and could see some construction ditches and I knew if I made there I could get away.

The MP hollered \"Halt Ot I\'ll Shoot\"! when he chamberer a round in his 45 it sounded like thunder and he

almost ran over me I stopped so fast.

They took my base pass for 30 days but I was TDY most of that time.

donwon, I did a tour of swing shift on the tow-refuel/defuel team and also on the flightline \"specialist\" dispatch truck or van! Working swing-shift was always the best for the night-life! I don\'t ever remember ever having curfews or base passes, but would probably have ignored them anyway. We did get caught a few times in bars after hours by the CP\'s (civilian police).

Several of us did get caught in a bar downtown on Kokusai Street, which was off-limits. The AP\'s took us to the AP Shack in Naminoue and released us after calling 1st. Sgt Galloway. We got a free ride to Naminouie that evening!

It was a good thing most of us Maint. guys were TDY most of the time, or we would have gotten in a lot more trouble--or worse!:laugh: :laugh:
