Stationed at Naha, Okinawa 1967-68. I was in the 41st TAS at Naha. Tech Sargent Robert Lawson was my NCOIC. I was the assistant crew chief on 55-025. The crew chief was Ronald Johnson.Worked on and flew on "A" models entire time.
One trip to Ubon blind bat. Plane was hit by 37 mm cannon fire. Patched up and flown back to Naha. Spent a lot of time at Cam Rahn Bay TDY. Engine run and taxi qualified. Taxied and ran engines a lot at Cam Rahn. Did high speed taxi checks with instructor pilots. Ran engines and taxied at Naha also.
Stationed at Pope 1969-70. Worked on E Models while there. Spent a lot of time in England and Germany. Chosen to fly the Air Force Band around Europe once along with two other aircraft. Could not wear military uniforms, had to wear civilian clothes. It seemed real strange. -

Just staying at home. Doing well.

Just an update, I have had a couple of hearing tests and was found to have a lot of high frequency hearing loss. I was approved for hearing aids and have gone for the ear fitting appointment. I will get them in about six weeks. I am having trouble distinguishing speech sounds from TV and people I am talking with. It all seems to run together sometimes. Just as a side note, the VA only wants the very best hearing aids. These are quite costly if I had to pay for them myself. Hope this helps others! Dallas

nascarpop started following VA Compensation
-
I went to the local VA with my copies of records. They did the filing for me. I just had to sign on the dotted line. I had requested my medical records from the records department and there was a visit to the hospital in CRB. I must have had a cold or something, I don't remember. Just go to your local VA office and they will help you. Make an appointment first! I received a DD215 to attach to my DD214. Good luck.

I just received a letter from Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph AFB that my Vietnam service time has been added to my DD-214. I was TDY from Okinawa quite often and It never was reflected in my service records. I was awarded Vietnam Service Medal with two Bronze stars, Republic of Vietnam Gallantry Cross with Palm. They determined I had 5 months and 10 days in country. It only took two years to get the correction letter after I submitted paperwork through the local VA office. I am just more proof it can be accomplished.
