6937th Communications Group / Peshawar Air Station

I am pretty sure I have already joined.

Hello

I am wing commander Muhammad Arif from Pakistan Air Force and present deployed at PAS (now called PAF Camp Badaber) since 2017.I want to appreciate all those who built PAS and served here. My heart is touched with beauty of this place. I want to go back in time when Americans were living here. I need information about social life of that time. Who made bowlling Alley and when inaugurated. Who built what and when. I need picture of old time to make a history room at PAS. Presently I am renovating bowling alley here.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanx

My autobiography is near completion - my original title was the King of Karachi - now my writer and I are considering the Prince of Peshawar. Getting laid in Karachi was easy - but busting a hyman in the Deans Hotel and then topping that off by getting laid in the barracks by a beautifuil English girl. Who did it better than me?

Colonel Goerder was the CO when I arrived in 62 to replace TSgt. Jim Heath. Lt. Colonel Britton was his 2nd in Command. They were just setting up the CCTV station under Jim Smith, Bill Diamond and another Airman named Wilson. Tom Davis was the gym supervisor with John Damen. Davis was also the USAF heavyweight boxing champ and was one of my roommates. I still have a copy of the orders when I received my GCM and there are many names on the orders of others who were serving there at the time. We started the University of Maryland college program and supervised dependant education. Made a lot of friends there with whom I lose touch after a few years. I do remember a Lt. Col Crane and Major Al Holdsworth. I stayed in touch with Major Holdsworth (San Antonio) for a few years. He and his wife are now deceased. I made the trip through the Kyber Pass and down to the Taxilla Ruins.

After spending quite a bit of time I was able to locate the base on Google Earth in 2020. I transferred out of the 6925th RSM, Clark AFB, Phillipine Islands, where I served for 1 1/2 years. I volunteered for duty with the 6937th RSM. Upon arriving the regular living quarters were full. We were living in the middle of the gymnasium basketball court during my stay.

General Clark (I believe) came through and was upset at this arrangement. He ordered that liveable quarters be located immediately or we'd be transferred to other bases. I was transferred to the 6913th RSM, Port of Entry, Bremerhaven, Germany, where I completed my overseas assignment.

Happy Holidays, again! The years sho' have passed and it's great to be still kick'n. Many good memories of being a Bandit and old friends in that time. Stan Allen, Donnie Price, Jim Taylor, Kermit Rowe, "Bone Crusher", et al! This old retired engineer still doing well in Miami (originally from Tennessee}.

You removed my last post: ARE YOU CENSORING - I posted my experiences - all true.....who did better than me - King of Karachi.

I had a patch made for Special Ops downtown but as soon as it was seen on base I was told to destroy it. It was Mad Magazine Spy vs Spy figures on a rocket as I recall. Does anyone happen to have one of these patches or know where I might get one now? Also saw a bandit patch made by a friend that I would like to get if available or even the 6937th freedom through vigilance patch. Any help is appreciated.

Really enjoyed my time in Peshawar - worked with a great group of folks at AFRTS station (FM / TV).

After Peshawar, I finished my active duty at Lowry AFB in Denver, doing narrations and film work for Vietnam, and other technical videos for Lowry.

After Air Force moved back into commercial broadcasting as DJ, program director, syndication programming and station ownership.

Wanted to report the death of Larry "Gah" Spice on 27 Jul 2020. Per the 6937th roster, Larry was a 203 on Dog Flight Mar 61--Sep 62. He also worked at NSA for 30 years per his obituary--
