When I got to Hakata, the Naval detachment was only about 40- some guys. When I left, it was approximately 150 guys. We went from on baracks on the edge of the parade field and three rooms in the Ops Building, to two barracks, and a real busy operation. I really enjoyed my time there, no wake-up schedules, no extra duties, and no restriction about coming and going from the base. It was a paradise as far as duty stations was concerned. Lots of nice guys and good times.

I was looking through some old paperwork and noticed all the people from Security Service Squadrons all over the Pacific who were promoted to SSgt in 1970. The thought occurred to me to see if there were any websites for the various squadrons (there are), and I stumbled on the 6918th. Looking through the website, I recognize and remember many of my old friends, whom I miss very much! I would enjoy any contact with anyone from Baker Flight from 69-71 (as well as Wayne Graczyk of Charlie Flight, with whom I took Japanese classes).

I see that Lonnie P. Hudson is listed as "found" on your listing. Could anyone who knows Lonnie or his whereabouts, please send him my email address? We were roommates at Amarillo and were assigned to Japan at the same time. I went to Misawa and he to the 6918th.

Thank you for creating this web site and bringing back a lot of long forgotten memories from 40 years ago. I was deeply saddened to see the names of so many that I knew and worked with that have now passed on. (Some day we will all meet again in a better place and renew our friendships) As each name that I recognized scrolled across the screen, I tried to picture that person and our working relationship at Hakata and, yes, our partying times as well. I have been with the DoD since retiring from the Air Force in '86 and am currently with PACOM at Pearl Harbor. Aloha, Larry Carson, CMSgt USAF (Ret.)

I was stationed at Hakata Nov 1969 to June 1970 on a temporary assignment with the USN. 8 on 8 off 8 on 8 off ad nauseum...COLD WINTER that year!
