I remember the day that I got my orders for Peshawar, W. Pakistan. My first question was "is there an East Pakistan"? My first memories, the heat, the smells and thinking, I'm calling my Dad. I'm not staying here. But stay I did and had a great time meeting people that have become life long friends. We did so much traveling, enjoying not only the people on base but many of the locals. One of the big highlights of each week, the new movie on base that we all went to and of course the many happy hours. Have to say that it was the only time that I was asked to leave an NCO club. The nurses tried to have the guys over for dinner and tried to make cookies and birthday cakes for as many as we could. My maidan name on the rooster is misspelled - it's Leone (not Leon). I would love to know who knew my married name and that I had moved to VA. If anyone knows drop me a line. A few of the nurses that I remember-Elaine Gemma, Jan Connally, June Daniels, Helen Ripple, Jean Norris, another Sandy and a Joyce. Hope to hear from some long lost friends.

I and two of my other buddies, Bob Micheals and David Becker went there and helped close down the place. I left in December and was sent to Incrlik, Turkey in Jan of 70 to finish my overseas tour. One day in Feb or March I beleive, I got on a base bus and there were some of the last people from PAS. Message Number: 424 - Sunday, January 10, 2010 14:20:04 EDT [IP = 69.18.107.133] -United States

I remember my time there very well, drinking, playing pinochele and anything else to make the time go by. But above all I remember the great guys. Merry Christmas everyone. Message Number: 420 - Wednesday, December 23, 2009 13:11:45 EDT [IP = 216.135.13.34] -United States
Bill Barkell you old son of a gun! I guess you know you made my day with that email you posted about remembering me, our trip to SWAT, and the goings on that happened there. Gary Rutledge has a lot to do with remembering things that happened to me in Pakistan. Hw eill bring up something, then ask Dick Gubala(another 6981st 2-T from Elmendorf to PAS) and myself if we remembered it. Of course old Dick can't remember anything, but once in a while I can get some memories out of it. Since I didn't stay but a few months, it is hard for me to remember much, but there are a few things I will never forget. Hopefully, I will get to see you again at this years reunion. Thanks again for making my day. Mike Message Number: 419 - Tuesday, December 22, 2009 22:53:09 EDT [IP = 66.91.139.46] -United States
In response to Mike Jones's message No. 415 of Monday, 21 December 2009. Mike, I remember you very well. I especially remember the trip we made in a van to Swat with, I believe, you, Rick blessing, Joe Ritacco, Joe Bodziony, myself, and others. I remember we went fishing and caught some native trout. Since we were fishing without permission, I (and a couple of others) were hauled up before a magistrate and read the riot act. They let us keep the trout, though, and we cooked them that evening. Also remember being guarded by a tribesman we hired to protect us. He let us shoot his rifle, which was an old British .303 Enfield. I still have the shell casing from the shot I fired. I remember we played the "Mamas and the Papas" all the way up from Peshawar to Swat. "California Dreamin'" all the way! I think the tape was Rick Blessing's. I actually enjoyed my tour at Peshawar very much. A historic area, an important mission, and some very good friends. Thanks for remembering, Mike. I hope to attend the reunion in 2010, and I hope you do, too. Cheers, Bill Message Number: 418 - Tuesday, December 22, 2009 20:35:39 EDT [IP = 67.54.234.124] -United States
I spent the Christmas of '68 in Peshawar which was the price to be paid for getting home for the holidays of '67. After 2 yrs. at RAF Chicksands 2T'd and went TDY to Goodfellow AFB, Tx. and home on leave. Made the best of the Peshawar holiday as most of the guys did. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all who served and those serving.
