When was your dad a missileer?

Your dad (like I do now) worked in a LCC- not the silos which are typically 3 miles away from the LCC.
UNLESS he worked under Titan, which WERE right next to the missile. But still not in a silo.
Sorry, that I had to be technical- it's just my job we are talking about here. I don't like it when people say "in the silo" because in that case- I would be straddling the missile.[/b]
HMC: Are you stationed at Malmstrom AFB? I was stationed at Malmstrom AFB. I left in 1992?
Are you a Missle Jockey for minuteman 2 or minuteman 3? Heck is the minuteman 2 silos still around? Or I suppose the question might be are you are missle jockey for Apha-Oscor, or Papa-Tango?
I used to be on Papa 101, the PMT team for the Minuteman 3 silos and LCF's. I drove the maintaince teams semi-truck all over that state, and I worked mostly on the Support building side of the house, did some Launch Facility stuff to but very litte. Hey maybe I used to talk to you when authenticateing from an LF? Hey maybe that is the reason why we got jacked up once for miss-authentication!! Boy was that an experierience I will not ever forget. I should have made sure to be out of our semi-truck when ART showed up? Well those pesky ART guys love there job just a little to much! Actully it was the shops fault for not filling out our paper work properly. We had two sites to hit that day, we had one year inspections to do, we hit the first site no problem, authtenticated and everything. Packed up mid day, headed to our second site, went to authenticate and was instructed to back off site and remain there for ART to show up. Then we found out that are paper work filed from our shop was wrong and we had already been let onto one site, when actually we were not suppose to be let on the first one in the first place, I often wonder how many heads roled that day and how far up the chain of command that little fieasco traveled.
All funin aside it sure is nice to see fellow missle people on a board like this. Even if you are a capsule monkey! We used to love tearing up all the floor plates in the capsules know there was a chore in a half. [:)]
