Comments about the web site: Sgt Mac, great site! Good to know I can find a place to contact old friends. I was at Dyess(desert dawgs) with John Smith 83-84 and McChord 84-87, got out and became a firefighter in Tacoma Wa. Great to see pictures of guys that you can never forget!

Comments about the web site: Thanks for the good work. I thought that I was registered but I changed my E-Mail address so that might be the reason I did not this last letter direct but via a friend. Moose

Comments about the web site: My first assignment out of school at Keesler I as assigned to Sewart in Feb 56, went to junp and then on to the big time at Ft. Campbell, Pope, and places I cannot remmeber until someone brings it up. I went to Wiesbaden in April 63 Some the members as I remember were Strabough, Benini, Tuttle, Michell, Bill Pack, Bobbie Hudso, Polston,Engleman, Fiish Herron. Lundy Hudgin, Lanier and some I will think of later. Was in Iran, India, France, Sweden,Denmark, Italy. Returned to Langley in 63, Stayed there until I was selected to become one of the first Instructor in the newly formed CCT School at Sewart in April 65. I think the school started in June of 65. School instructors at that time were Bo Freeman,Moose morris, John Sheptack, Henry Kelly (Wx Man) Will Tuttle Dave Hughes and Col Heller. In 68 I was shipped out Elmendorf for three years and then to Lockbourne for 6 months then on to Campbell for one month, then to Little Rock for one year and back to Elmendorf to finish up by 20 inn 1975 Retired as an E-8. Age 38 After retirement I went to College for a year or so and then went to work as an oilfield grunt and started a directional Drilling Oil company in Mich. I sold it to a Company in Houston, had to work for them for 3 years. and then retired the second time. (Age 47). Took two years of and played golf. Next I tried insurance and didn't like this one. (Age 48) I decided to become a builder and didn't like that either.(age 50) Too much work for a guy past 50. Took some time off (still to young to retire) and went to the school system and run the bad kids school and a TI. Finally quit everything in 1997 (age 60) and do what I want to do...Thanks to everyone that has made all of the good memories....and more to come....Moose

Wayne (one of the WORLD CHAMPION STATIC LINE PARACHUTIST) you are the man. Thank you for once again jumping in,as you did for so many years. My old friend URRRAH. Things at the ROCK are really active you,d think they (the USAF/AETC) are in a hurry to train more CCT delivery people. Oh I know they also deliver to other branches, but I know we're thier prime mission. Anyway the norm has been 30-40 block times per day of 3to5 A/C. Usually 18 to 20 day and 12 to 16 night.

Comments about the web site: Great site! Brings back many memories. Living large in Virginia Beach. BO

Comments about the web site: After leaving CCT in 1981, I flew C-130's, CASA 212s and 727s. I retired from the Air Force in 96. Got a job flying for Southwest Airlines out of Baltimore, MD. Planning on moving to Florida in the next few months, (Daytona Beach area) My son is going to school there at Embry-Riddle. Daughter is graduating from Towson University this May, so I'll be commuting from Florida to Baltimore after we move. Sharon will be taking it easy in the beach house, so drop us a line via e-mail. See ya.

Comments about the web site: Hello Mac, Except for a ruptured disk in my back, Incurable manic depression, impaired hearing, (especially if the wife is calling), chronic arthritis, periodic memory dysfunction, macular degeneration in both eyes, astigmatism, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and all the good looking nurses are married or ugly However, I can still shoot a palm sized shot group at 100yds so I feel fine. Thanx for the class website. Seeing all the old and new CCTers makes me feel younger...by about two weeks. TSgt Gary R. Downing USAF RET.

Comments about the web site: Just catching up on my reading Mac. I see Bitch Bricker signed in. See lots of names I recognize. Had a great time in San Antonio. Hope I can make it next year. Keep up the good work. HooooYaaaaaH

Comments about the web site: Sorry. I keep forgetting to sign the book. You have done a great job with this site and I enjoy it very much. Keep up the good work. If anyone is coming to Alaska for a visit, give me a call. Skip Arnold

Comments about the web site: I'm living in Mt. Pleasant SC, my home town. Married to my high school sweetheart "Lynne" for 17 years, some may remember her from a few drunken nights at the Pope NCO club. I have a 15 year old daughter "Brittany", who definitely didn't take after her dad. I"m the GM of Haselden Co., Inc., a family owned business that designs and installs process equipment for Coca-Cola & Pepsi. Just wanted to stop in a say hello. I've been out of touch with all of my old CCT buddies with the exception of Patrick Hall and would really like to talk with them. Too all of my PI and Pope buds out there, drop me a line. P.S. Mac, you're looking good in the reunion photos. I bet you hugged every female in the place.

Comments about the web site: GREAT SITE. I KNEW A FEW OF THE GUYS. I WAS WITH HIGBEE AND SPEARS AT TRAVIS AND BOBBY G. IN PLEIKU. THANKS FOR THE FAST RETURN. THE BEST TO YOU AND YOURS.

Comments about the web site: Hey Sgt Mac...Love your web page. I'll be sending pics from CCT missions in Somolia and Desert Storm along with training pics from around the world that I collected during my 14 years I spent on the Pope CCT. Yep thats right, I was the Pope icon for years before I finally cross trained into personnel. I'm now a combat personnelist. I got out to try to save my marriage but it didn't work. I could go back into the career field however I have enough T-Shirts and good memories and friends to last the rest of my life. It's time to leave the glory to the young guys entering the force. Chat later. Gatorman Stiles

Comments about the web site: 22 years wandering the globe, I retire and two years later I'm stll wandering

Comments about the web site: Thanks for your determination and dedication to maintaining this web site. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading the stories and viewing the photos. You're doing a great job and should be proud of what you're doing for all combat controllers--past, present, and future. Take care, Jack

Comments about the web site: Great Web Site! England LA, Lockborne, Little Rock, CCK, Dyess. Got out after 10 yrs in Aug 74. Graduated U of A in 78 and have been in the insurance/investment business since 78. I will be attending the reunion next fall - really looking forward to seeing you guys again. I get up to VA several times a year on business and usually see Bob Chappell in Richmond when I am there. He is also planning on attending next fall. See you there.

Comments about the web site: Well I guess a little history for ya would be great... I joined the Air Force in August of 1990 and graduated OL-H in 1991. From there it was the Pipeline and on to Pope. I was assigned to Blue Team under Pat "Wicked" Moulton. I guess my team days where par with everyone else, party really hard, loose money on the poker nights, etc, etc, etc... I will save the "war stories" for a later day... After getting out of the Air Force for a back injury I moved into computers and became an engineer working my way through Microsoft and rapping up with Cisco. That got extremely boring not to mention the constant whining and back stabbing you get in the corporate world. Now, now I am back to what I like; no I couldn't get back in the teams so I did the next best thing. I am a consultant providing our government with a checks and balance on their facilities... I have a beautiful wife and two awesome boys. Looks like I will be paying for a lot of proms.

Comments about the web site: This time the site was smooth as silk. My best to all the CCTer's I have met. I appreciate the remembrance of my brother Andre Guillet. See you at the reunion God willing. Doris

WebMaster Note; Peter D. Holt is a man of mystery and came to SgtMacsBar through the back door. I found this entry hidden away in one of my decoy websites used to thwart terrorist. It was written back on Jan 6th and is out of order, but not lost! Pete, you continue to amaze me and welcome to SgtMacsBar. I'll get you to the photos and hope to tap your graphic resources someday!

Comments about the web site: Well Mac I finally got past the outer perimeter maze of Electronic Counter Measures. Must be that new IR body marking system from STEL INC. I really do enjoy the info and news. I spoke with both Tom and Glenda Allen plus Jack Moyer on Sunday. Looks like a 4 person team for the 50th with Pete as Point and Tom as Tail-end Charlie. I'll keep trying the original website www.SgtMacsBar.com for access, but in three years this is the closest I've been. One Day I hope to see some of your pic's. I wish you and yours a very Happy and prosperous New Year. I must say that in all the years of CCT-ing I have inserted by every means normally possible with the exception of jumping from a balloon, Hot Air or not. I will say "Galloping down to rout the little hord of munchkins" does sound wonderful. As younger CCT'er and PJ write their own Chapters in our continuing book of escapades, mind boggling sequels, and sometimes even big whoopers we the older and not always wiser CCT'er will live our lives through their exploits. New chapters will continue as long as CCTer on PJ's are "Call On" to place Duty to Country above all else, before family, before anything. Thank God for the Peace Keepers and our future warriors. This is Agent Orange from a different time signing off and Standing By at a new ORP USMC Recruit Depot Parris Island Safety Office. Isn't that a HOOT!. I mean Safety from Agent OJ. Oh Well! May be I've changed. Was that 42 inches a foot for a DEMO shot or 42 feet a minute fuse time. Anybody got a set of crimpers?

Comments about the web site: neat site i was a pararigger in the navy meet steve wegerwith his daughter this past summer he showed your site 2 me take care pat

Comments about the web site: Mac, Pretty good job that you're doing here. Dave

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, Just visiting and I signed the damm guestbook. You do good work. Thanks

Comments about the web site: Cheers to everyone! Mac, Your persistence has paid off I am signing the guestbook and sending my money to CCA converting my annual membership to lifetime. The form will be mailed the first thing this next week; keep up the great work at your web site. I go there often to reminisce. I really like Jimmy Buffet, my generation. The big 50 this year hope I can make. Presently, I am working for Max Goodman and living in Lafayette, LA, a strange transition for a California. I am trying to up date my e-mail address for Walter Smith – does anyone have his new e-mail? Cheer my friends,

Comments about the web site: Love this web site. I want to thank you for making a great place for me to reminisce the glory days. It's an outstanding thing you have done and I for one am indebted to you. Tailpipe Out..... Snyder

Comments about the web site: Hello to all. Great site. Love the pics and the memorial site. My thoughts, prayers, and envy to all my CCT and PJ brothers fighting the good fight. HooYah Team! DG

Comments about the web site: I was one of the P304's who managed to get out of the TACP experience after a tour in Viet Nam with the 101st ABN and several years in the 3rd Direct Air Support Flight in Okinawa. From Okinawa, I was assigned to CCT at Langley in DEC 68 and remained in CCT until I retired with just over twenty years active on 1 AUG 79. I suppose there were other folks working on the changes that have taken place in CCT since then re: Table of Organization, Manpower, Support, to say nothing of Mission, but I like to think that some words I dropped in one of the USAF Manpower guys ear back in early summer of '79 might have had something to do with today's organizational structure although the final product surpasses what were then somewhat radical ideas...Most likely, though, some smarter than I folks at HQ had the same notion and it was their ideas that carried the day. Hell! What did a 304 know? I'm damn proud of what CCT has become and of all the guys who were ever and who are still in it...Jim

Comments about the web site: Mac...it was good to see you and all who attended the reunion. I'll see you in Sept. If anybody gets to Tampa look me up at the Warrior Foundation 813-805-9400. Keep up the good work Mac it's nice to be able to find old friends here. btw..Jack King..you have as much chance passing for a 22 year old as I do getting a job advertising hairstyles. (See Jack's comments , Dec 11 2002) Steve

Comments about the web site: Hi Sarge, Saw the great sign made by Henry Marc, left you speechless did it?!. Henry is a very trustworthy individual, and also a longtime friend. He has a nack for filling in the missing pieces with just about everything. Type A, all the way. Scott"Big"

Comments about the web site: Well another year is upon us and the reunion will rush in on us like a freight train , so , get ready to be at the reunion. My wife , Cora , and I are already planning our trip to be there a couple of days ahead of time to get in a little more socializing. Hope you all can make it . See you there.

Comments about the web site: Just checking things out. Lots of good CCT memories. Graduated in Class 86-1. Living in Ohio about 20 miles east of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I'm a sergeant in a small police department. Hope to pay my life CCA membership soon and to make it to the 50th Reunion in September. By the way, does anyone recognize the name of a former Vietnam era CCT'er named Donald Flitcraft?

Comments about the web site: Aloha Mac, I got a Sgt. Macs Bar coin in the mail today. Thanks !! Ya did a good job. I guess this means I need to get in the truck and coin ya for a couple cold, yellow carbonated beverages resembling beer at the BAR of all Bars !!!! Later Dude......(neighbors get mad if I jump in?) Doug

Comments about the web site: Just got my coin, awesome! Mac. thanks for all you do and for caring. You're the MAN! Keep up the good work.

Comments about the web site: Alive and well. I now do GIS mapping, Homeland Security, etc. Surviving in Mile-high Prescott, AZ.

Comments about the web site: Mac, In one of your recent "Meandering's" you ask for opinions on the SgtMacsBar Icon. Before the opinion, you should know this: Its your web site and you can do what ever you like. Add to that the great response to the site; It has become a place to stop by, hear a little music, catch up on the latest news and find an unexpected old buddy. It's very much like every team I was ever on where each one had "its" place to do the very same thing; C-130 bar, first bar on the right, burnt plywood above the parachute loft or in Stan's garage. Thank you for that and all the time you put in to it. Most any format would work and this one is pretty good. But if it's an opinion you want, here it is. I'd prefer not to have a Red Beret on a drunk guy. Small things have a way of perpetuating themselves and drinking to excess while in uniform and wearing a beret, while needing a shave is not todays CCT. Maybe a blue beret is more appropriate. And, as far as it being your web site, and doing what you want still stands; but, that beret belongs to a lot of people. Then again, it could be a French guy. All things considered, I'll be at the end of the bar. Your friend Johnny

Comments about the web site: Hey Mac, as one of your former students, I want to thank for all the fun you dished out to me and my classmates (Aug -Oct 81). Great web site and I will be posting some shots from my 18 yrs in the community soon. DA Smith

Comments about the web site: Good job SgtMac here's a few more sayings for the enlightenment of those numb nutted online fajwars of yours. "Fight, fuck, root, chuck, nibble, gobble, chew, I'm aussie navy diver ... who the fuck are you?" "Root shoot electrocute, (turns his head) oh fuck she's cute!" "He's a sports car driving, bare nuckle fighting, heliox sucking, navy diver" "Down in the jungle where the green grass grows is a mean mother fucker without any clothes. He's a mean mother fucker from a cock sucking whore swinging through the trees scratchin his balls, glans in his hands, yelling "hey mother fucker I'm a diving man"

Comments about the web site: Hi everybody, after I retired Jan 96 I went to work for CSX railroad as a locomotive engineer. I then was offered a job working at the new IFAM program at Hurlburt Field and I quickly said good-bye to the railroad. Our IFAM has now grown into Advanced Skills Trainig (AST)and it will continue to grow. Stop by and say hi soon. Ron

Comments about the web site: Retired CCT/STS 31 Dec 02. Civilian working OPS for Advanced Skills Training here in beautiful FWB, FL. Great site, great pics. Hope to see all at the 50th Reunion in Sep. EN

Comments about the web site: I was in Combat Control 1980-1988. SgtMac was my instructor at Combat Control School, (back then he was at smiling SSGT. with a tight asshole!!!). It has been a long time since I talked to anyone from CCT. The last person I saw was John "Spike" Garner at a Wal-Mart in Pinehurst, NC, years ago! When I left the military I started working for the Wackenhut Corporation,(a worldwide security firm), over 10 years tenure. I’m in management and can help fellow Combat Controllers with employment after retirement or separation, (worldwide). Feel free to contact me anytime. I'm based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. Believe me the money is a whole lot better out here but never will I experience the camaraderie of a Combat Control Team! Feel free to contact me anytime at Marty Martinez Office: 800-275-8330 Cellular: 919-810-2435 Home: 919-785-9654 email: twcmarty@bellsouth.net

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, Just grazing through to say hello and thank you again for all the work you do keeping us informed and awake. Thanks my friend, Sam

Comments about the web site: Sgt Mac...udaman! Thanks for giving all of us junkyard dogs a place to visit. To all CCT friends: The CCT force continues to make all proud. One of many eye-watering examples...it was an honor to meet three brand new controllers just returning from Iraq last week. These young CCT just days out of AST found themselves in combat in Iraq...awesome! They never missed a beat. Now with the young, the same as in the past with all you old guys; it is humbling to be in the presence of great people. Quick personal note: This year of living out of suitcases and boxes is about to end. Project PCS to Lackland AFB in Jul. Colleen and the dogs expect the CCT family to stop by for a visit when in San Antonio. Bob Holmes

Comments about the web site: Oct 15, 56 to Oct 14 60--Retired after 4-- Say Hi to Bill Winters & Eddie Robbins next time you see them!!!!

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, thanks for the great web site. Been checking in for a while and decided to finally sign in. Served at McChord CCT 61-66 (first team), NKP Thailand 66-67, Norton 67-68. I'm grateful for having served in one of the finest units in all the armed forces. CCTer's are the best. Currently getting ready to retire from the FAA at LA Center. Will attend the 50th reunion. Hope to see many old friends there and maybe make some new ones. Keep up the good work.

Comments about the web site: helloI'm doing fine and hope you all are to.I'm trying to learn how to cut and paste hmtl so I dont have to type web addresses in my browser all the time.and for some reason I can not find tha correct help topic catagorie on my new computer.Yes I'm new geek.can you help?

Comments about the web site: Ursula and I just got back from a "Road-Trip" driving through several states and visiting old Team Mates and Friends. Our first stop after leaving San Antonio was at John and Judy Karr's home in Columbia Tennessee. We spent two days at John and Judy's place, both are doing great and it was a joy to sit and shoot the shit with John about our days at Charleston and Panama. From there Columbia Missouri was our next stop for a couple of more days at the reknown SgtMacsBar at Mike and Jill Mcreynolds home. Mac and I were together on the Panama Team. We spent a wonderful two days there checking out the area, the local Brew Pub and of course Macs Bar. On to Lincoln Nebraska from there to visit an old friend of mine that was stationed in Europe with me back in the late fifties (Yeah, I'm dating myself). Lincoln is a great city and of course we checked out the local Brew Pubs there as well. I highly recommend the beers at "Lazlo's". Turning south from Lincoln we motored on down thru Kansas and Oklahoma until reaching Sherman Texas at Roger and Lena Flexer's home. Roger and I were on the Dover team together in the early seventies. Spent the night there at the Flexer's with a night out at a great restaurant "The Point" on Lake Texoma. The following morning we left for San Antonio with a short stop-off at Red and June Ghormley's house for Coffee and Donuts. Don Horton also joined us and we had a super visit before pressing on home. It was a wonderful vacation, the hospitality shown by all was indicative of the closeness and sincerity of the binding friendships that are made in Combat Control and carried on even after retirement and long distances between each other. No more space, see Y'all at Reunion-----Hud

Comments about the web site: Just Checking in Mac. Want to keep reminding people to come to the Reunion this year. Keep up the good work!

Comments about the web site: Just checking in. I keep hoping to see a few old friends, that I haven't seen in 20+ years, signz the book. I've already made my hotel reservations for September, and sent in my registration fees! It' going to be a great time!

Comments about the web site: I, WAS THE WIFE OF ROMIE JERRY OUTLAW WHO DIED 1985 OF CANCER. HE WAS A COMBAT CONTROLLER AND RETIRED IN 1969

Comments about the web site: Mac The OFFICIAL CCT HISTORY was written by MSgt Ronney Moss, Combat Control School as part of the Career Field/AFSC/CDS process. I cannot take credit for any thing except sending out via email. He did a hell of a job, don't you think? I am on the CCS Student schedule for one hour on 6 June to brief CCT History before 1970.

Comments about the web site: Mac, Do you remember me? You were an instructor at the Pope school house when I went through as a student in April 81. Got commissioned in Jan 84. . .went into the AWACS career field flying mostly, and a few ground assignments. Flew 80+ combat sorties during Desert Storm. Retired as a Captain after 20 years service in Jun 94. Got hired on with Boeing in Aug 96 as a civilian contractor here at Tinker AFB, OK teaching the ground training portion for IQT Controllers. Been here ever since. Was in Saudi providing some refresher training to Saudi controllers during the recent compound bombing. Ours was one that was hit. I didn't receive any injuries but 3 of our people did. Got a few good pictures and stories I'll bring to the reunion! See ya! Rod

Comments about the web site: Mac - just found your site by accident. Wondered what my old instructor was doing these days - glad to see that your still drinking beer. I'm living in AZ now and doing something almost as much fun as CCT - I teach 8th graders American History. Hooyah!

Comments about the web site: Retired from the USAF in 1983. Then on to the DLA as a quality assurance specialist and retiring in Oct 2002. Priscilla and I are celebrating our 37th wedding anniversary today (25 June 2003). Just for something to do I started taking flying lessons and will solo in 2 weeks or less. This time I plan to land with the plane. HO HO. I've registed and have taken the "LSAT" to start law school this fall, But I'm not quite sure I handle it. Right now I plan to stay retired. Looking thru your CCT lists sure brings back memories. There should be a lot of war stories when we get together and seeing old friends this Sept. See You in Sept Frank J.

Comments about the web site: I competed in Volant Rodeo in 80 and 83 with the Australian team. Made some great mates and have managed to catch up with Al Huddleston through the CCT web site. I was at the 30th Reunion but don't remember too much about it. Must have been the Mad Dog 20/20. I still have a bottle of wine from the 30 Reunion (never opened) it would make good paint stripped now. Would like to catch up with other CCT that I competed against Ric Quigley being the stand out drinker that I remember and more than likely the reason for my poor memory of 83. Great to see the site will catch up again. G'day from down under Regards Lou

Comments about the web site: Hey Mac, Probably don't remember me, but here goes. I went through the "School" in 1981 and then to the Charleston Team. Braxton, Lynch, McCarthy, Baxter, Martenez were there at the time. I never had such a good time in my life. I live in Indiana and am the Supervisor of 14 of the best Fu#$ing detectives in Law Enforcement. Yes, I am a police officer. I am still married to my wonderful bride of 21 years, Mary Alice. I have three daughters. Alyssa is 9 years old. Sara is 15 years old. Heather would be 20 years old and was spoiled by the entire Charleston Team. She was killed in a auto accident on June 2, 2001, the day before she was to graduate from High School as Validictorian of her class. She used to talk about watching dad and his friends jumping out of airplanes with his friends. I miss her every second of every day. I would like to hear from old friends. If anyone reads this please drop me a line. Charlie, that means you. Keep your Powder Dry, Drink

Comments about the web site: Just a visitor, but this site is always fun to come back to see the updates. Recognize a photo or two. Y'all should be proud of being a special group among all.

Box 105 Hohenwald, TN 38462 931-796-1159 Will be talking to John and Judy. Talked to Judy over the 4th of July Holiday. We are going to be able to call John from the reunion. Larry Lower and I thought we could get a gang of his friends around for a Hello from the reunion. Judy said she thinks that will be great. I live only 33 miles from them. I will talk to them in the next couple of days about the 19th and hope to see you then on the way down. I will probably go down to Florida on the 22nd. Take Care Buddy

Comments about the web site: Hoping to be a CCT in about two years. Your site was great had a blast while I had nothing to do at work

Comments about the web site: Greetings from sunny Ft. Walton Beach. Working at AST and enjoying every minute of it. Just returned from a two week trip to Ft. Bragg. Damn good training for the young troops, they worked the large package, then a week of C-17 LZ training. Worked 'em long and hard, but, I think they enjoyed themselves,well anyway they learned alot. Ran into the legendary Dickie Heins and think I convinced him to attend in Sept. Hope to see a bunch at the reunion, bring your bikes the WX will be great. Later, Spike.

Comments about the web site: Enjoy reading your weekly/daily diatribes so much I keep forgetting to sign in. Can't make the reunion this year - please pass my best to all. Rex

Comments about the web site: Mac, Awesome site and a great collection of CCT memories and stories. I'm with the 123rd STS in KY, so MO is pretty close...meaning a few brews at Sgt Mac's Bar. If you're ever in the Louisville area, drop me a line and we'll show you the squadron. Blue Skies.

Comments about the web site: Greetings Sgt Mac...enjoy visiting SgtMacsBar. Was a Controller with 1st APO at Donaldson AFB, SC. See a few names that brings back memories. You may not know this, but some of the CCT Members fron the 2nd at Sewart AFB, TN provided AF Basic Training to a bunch of us no-prior service AF Reservist in 1954-55. Were were we ever really that green and that young? Have submitted papers for membership. Perhaps we can meet at the reunion.

Comments about the web site: Great site. I will have to have Brenda go through our pictures. You are severely lacking in pictures from the Hurlburt team (78 - 82).

Comments about the web site: Mac - figured I'd sign in this time - still having fun reading your website. Just retired and was discussing the Mar 2005 Cruise with Wayne Norrad. Talked to my wife and we/re both interested - but want to confirm it's 2005 (a long way off, but gives us time to plan. If that is correct, then would like to tentatively sign my wife (Zandra)and I up for it (also understand no obligation at the present time???) Keep up the good work - don't know how you manage to stay on top of all you do, but it's greatly appreciated Rex

Comments about the web site: Mac Man, Everything is almost packed and ready for the reunion. Lisa and I went thru my pics. I have your training video and will bring it with me. There's a lot of names that I don't see on the Reunion list. I hope we are surprised and more show up. I miss all of my brothers. The site is looking great. See everyone there - NO Excuses. I have a keg of beer to drink and I have to have friends to drink it with.

Comments about the web site: Hi Mike & Jill (and all others who read this). The reunion is just around the corner and my mouth is watering. I can hardly wait to see my old brothers and meet my new ones. Lynne can tell you how excited I've been. She's ready to get out of town too. Heck, she's already typed her Out-of-Office email. She just has to hit the send button. FYI -- We're toying with the idea of joining you on the 2005 cruise. But hey, we'll talk more in person.

Comments about the web site: Pat Hall contacted me and it was sure nice to hear from him. It's real nice to see the site you've set up Mac. I've gone over the whole thing and it's great! I'm at Beale AFB in Northern California running the USAF Bowling Alley here and having a good time, too. It was great to see some of the pictures and names of people I was wondering about. TC Williams, Ernie Gomez, Keith Haselden, etc. and many others. I've been trying to get down to Ft Walton Beach but haven't been able to get gov't employment there yet. Still working it. It would make it easy to go to the reunion. I'm going to buy everyone a beer, though. Good and bad, I'll never forget my time in CCT. It was the best thing I ever did. Keep in touch everyone. Tim Arcadi (Arca-Die)

Comments about the web site: It was an honor to be amongst so many heroes! Thank you for taking me into your fold! It was a fantastic reunion - lots of happy faces, beer, hugs, beer, stories, beer, pictures and more beer. I look forward to the next time I get to see everyone. Thank you,CCA Officers for all the hard work you did coordinating the reunion! Please come have a cold one with us @ SgtMacsBar! HumminJill

Comments about the web site: Mike and Jill, Please pass on my personal thanks to everyone who played a part in making every event of the 50th CCA Reunion a super success. This was a "Special Week" for Karen and I, one that we'll never forget. As I think back over the last year, I remember all the e-mails of your efforts trying to recruit 50 new CCA members then requesting 50 people to sponsor 50 kegs of beer for the 50th CCA reunion. I want to say a personal "Thanks To You" for having the vision of how great this week could be - if we all just showed up and enjoyed each other's company. I also want to say a Special Thanks To Each Person who saw the same vision and took the time and energy to make each scheduled activity a "First Class Event". On a Personal Note: I know that I was not alone in bringing outside friends or relatives to one or more of the events. As for me, I was proud to bring my brother-in-law and two friends of the family to more than one event. I can't tell you how proud I was to introduce them to all the people I had the honor to serve with and still know for the last 30 years. Not to mention, take pride on how each event was so professionally organized. I mean from the time I signed until the time I left. Hats off to all involved with every aspect! "First Class All The Way!" Thanks to all who made it happen! Chris and Karen Caffall

Comments about the web site: The 50th reunion was my first and I am so happy to have been there and seen old comrades in arms and the new group of youngsters that are replacing us. I look forward to other reunions. Mac, I am GLAD you goaded me into the life membership. The association is the means to keep old friendships alive and make new ones. It is the means to honor our fallen brethren and keep alive their memory.

Comments about the web site: Damn - it was the worst weekend of my life! I sat around grumbling about how I should be in Ft. Walton book getting drunk with all my brothers. I was there in spirit if not bodily. God bless every one of you and I look forward to making the trip next year. I noticed in Mac's ramblings about signing the book that he mentioned a get together at Sgt. Mac's Bar - "I need to take care of the tickets by the middle of the month, so if you’re interested, let me know soon. I have an extra bed, a pull out couch, and a blow up bed." What he forgot to mention was the 12 blow up dollies he has in the closet! Love you all and missed the hell out of seeing you! Anyone heading to the Phoenix area - drop me an email and I'll give you directions! PS - Pat Hall: mullets went out in the 80s!

Comments about the web site: The 50th was FANTASTIC, had so much fun I can't even remember going skinny dipping with ?? and ?? Who starts all of those rumors. Billy? We have to do a Mid States get together. Got a lot of friends here that I did not know about. I will be fishing at my Coz's soon, will let you know. Maybe the people that actually put fish in their boat can come and join. I will have a camera and take Pictures. The Jim Keen sponsored Mizzou verses Iowa State Football Game 29th November at 12:00 sounds like a good start to a Mid States Chapter. The CRUZ in March 2005 sounds cool. Do they have skinny dipping pools on board? We all need more info as soon as you get it. Sign me up “Floyd and somebody” Hope my pace maker is still working then. I’ll recharge it with Budweiser before I get there. Love ya all, Floyd

Comments about the web site: Mac, The reunion was by far the best that I've been too, and I've been to several good ones at the Heart of Fayetteville. Thanks for getting everyone together. It was great to see some of my old friends and an opportunity to make some new ones. Now it's time to let my liver recover. P.S. I'm working on Pat Hall's mullet haircut but this is a work in progress. LOL

Comments about the web site: REUNION 2003....Awesome. Most of the Langley/McChord MC Gang, (Where the hell were Don East & John Smith???). Incredible to see Jumpin' Joe Orr & Jim Donaldson again. Was able to raise my blood sugar level through conspicuous alcohol consumption to new record highs! Too many great memories to sort through in one sitting, though like a fine cognac and cigar, they will be savored! For those that wanted to attend but couldn't, know that you were with us in spirit. It is obvious that the Brotherhood is alive and cooking and this can only serve as a springboard for bigger and better attendance. After all, where would you rather spend your precious vacation time...shopping for straw hats and pottery and looking forward to Bobby Vinton's look alike show or hanging with the best bunch of bastards you've ever had the privileged to be associated with? I rest my case and will see all you slackers next year. Special note to Peaches, (a.k.a. Peachy Keen)...what's up lieutenant? Extra special note to Dink Dalton...rice burning cruisers are every bit as cool as Harley's...it's the rider that matters! I hope to be joining the fold soon too if Mary will cut the funds loose. E-mail me !!! Yo Don! Just an up date. Me & Rhinestone still don't need hair club for men. I guess I've pissed enough folks off for now... Alfa Mike Foxtrot!

Comments about the web site: I really enjoyed the 50th Anniversary Reunion. It was a lot of hard work, but it was definitely worth it to see so many of you come and have a good time. Your CCT comrade, Wayne Norrad

Comments about the web site: You forgot to mention the fine work your wife Jill did in taking many many pictures of the reunion. Had a great time at the reunion.......Emmet

Comments about the web site: Doing well..kids all grown and living life the fun way. Working is some of the fun..but I work for myself as well. Be good to see a few of ya..might just pop in some time..:-)

Comments about the web site: Hi Mac, Just an update on a fellow CCTer from the 1960-70 era. DUKE BALLARD was hospitalized Friday Oct 3, 2003 after a dizzy spell and subsequent blackout caused him to crash his cruiser into a building downtown. He is a LT with the Alaska State Troopers. He has been with the troopers for more than two decades and recently moved to Anchorage from Bethel to be the troopers supervisor for Anchorage Judicial Services. His responsibilities at his new post include overseeing 14 court service officers, management of statewide prisoner transport, security for judges and the Anchorage Court System and fugitive extradition, among many other responsibilities I visited him in the Alaska Regional Hospital today and he is doing well. The hospital staff will be conducting tests to determine his problem and a plan on corrective action............Emmet

Comments about the web site: I'm back from the 50th reunion of Combat Control. That was the best time I've had with my clothes on since I left CCT in 1970. I got to meet the infamous Sgt. Mac and the lovely Hummingbird Jill;) I got to see lots of my old teammates that I haven't seen in 35 years, boy can they tell some whoppers! I didn't do most of the tall tales they told. At least I don't remember. I was honored to meet warriors who served in Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq and who knows where. It was great to go to the CCT advanced training school and meet the up and coming fire-eaters. They sure have some neat toys. I was impressed. I want to express a special thanks to those who organized and executed the reunion. You did a great job!! -Art

Comments about the web site: Mac & Jill, Seems like we have been in warp speed since returning from the 50th. I just wanted to thank you both for being a major part in the success of the reunion. Without all the work you did, I don't believe it would have happened! Floyd, yes the ship has a pool! Wonder if Greg & Darma will be there too? LOL Thanks again! Charlie & Tracy

Comments about the web site: Logging on to receive Sgt Mac's updates. I too, attended the reunion. I am proud to be a part of a fine group men with such a varied and prestigious background. Thank you for leading the way. Oh, wait, "First There". Cheers Joe Stephanishen

Comments about the web site: Thank you for allowing me the privilege of association with the most elite of the quiet professionals. The CCA 50th Anniversary Reunion will remain a most significant and special event in my life. USAF Oct 60-Apr 65; PCS HRT Jun 61 for Operation Jungle Jim; ATC assigned to 1920-1 Comm Det which became the 2068 Comm Sqdn. Straphanger to the CCT; I wanted to jump. Smokey Murray taught me how and jumpmastered my first five SLs, w/five DRCPs. Larry Lower, Chuck Paradise (KIA 1967) and Bob Antle taught me about FF and rigging work. Jim Gary sold me my first rig. Jim Howell inspired my imagination with what can be accomplished as a FF parachutist. Charter member of the Commando Sport Parachute Club; Mort Freedman signed me off for my C License and appointed me Club Safety Officer. Retired from the sport Aug 99 w/3,016 jumps. Tandem (1,189) and SL instructor, PRO Rated airshow performer w/Liberty Parachute Team, coordinator parachute activities at Lakeland EAA Sun'n Fun Fly-In, Florida 1988-97, 30+ hours FF, DDW872. Founder/administrator Christian Skydivers Association. Not too bad, for a leg! Thank you gentlemen.

Comments about the web site: Thanks for the great site Mac. It was sure good to see you at the Reunion. The Reunion was made great because of so many brothers such as yourself! Thanks Mac.

Comments about the web site: The 50th was by far my greatest experience since my discharge in 1988. I wish to thank the CCA for their hard work and for having the vision to put this together. I also wish to thank Mac for drawing us lurkers out of the woodwork. The reunion was everything you said it would be Mac. I, like many others at the reunion learned Mac is a very blessed man. It was an honor to meet Jill! I never imagined meeting so many of my hero’s in one place; those that went before me, those that served with me, and those that came after. I only hope those in uniform now, keep in touch with us old folks. We may not know you that well, but we are brothers. It was wonderful to thank so many who gave comfort and guidance to this young lad at the start of his journey. Those old timers helped create a foundation I never stray from to this day. I only wish that I could have bought a clue from Vanna White in those days. I always was a slow learner, heck MSgt. Mike Steinbeck had to re-enlist me at Keesler just to get me to jump school. Now for those that don’t know me, don’t take those serious that are after my hair. These are the same people that threatened to take my bell bottoms away in 1980. To those in uniform that carry the torch: May God watch over you and bless you. While the years and miles may separate us, you never leave our thoughts and prayers.

Comments about the web site: Mac Had a great time with you and Jill at the reunion and the ride to Panama City and The Wall! Keep up the good works from your "Bar", you enthusiasm is infectious and needed in some circles. You should have access again, so keep it coming. Bud

Comments about the web site: I am a lowly civi But I am a proud and supportive one. Just wanna say a huge THANK YOU !! And I would like to ask if you have any important links to add to a community I am currently helping build for Vets. YOU ROCK ! ! ! !

Comments about the web site: I have been visiting for a while but could not sign the guest book from work (Randolph AFB) so, I though I would go ahead and try from home, yes, it took an hour (dial up) but finally made it! Great site, I will continue to visit often and am anxious to see the 50yr pictures.

Comments about the web site: Life is great; cattle prices are up and golf handicap is down. Southwest Missouri is still the best kept secret around; land prices and taxes are low, beautiful landscapes, and lakes everywhere. Had a great time at the reunion, played golf almost everyday thanks to Billy Howell's (SAC) efforts setting it up. Seen sooooo many guys I hadn't seen in years, I still can't believe it. Thanks to all the Hurlburt brothers who put it together and to everyone who donated a keg. Best Wishes, LE Out

Comments about the web site: It was great to meet you folks at the reunion. I am glad that I attended. If you are ever out in the Reno, NV area let use know. Dave LM482

Comments about the web site: The reunion in Ft Walton beach was a special in many ways. Thank you, to all the Brothers and Sisters that made it possible. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated. Bill & Lynn

Comments about the web site: Mac, It was great to see you, Jill and so many others at the reunion! Just wanted to say "Thank You For Coming" to all who were able to attend. It took a lot of effort but to have that number of past and present CCTers in the same place at the same time made it all worthwhile. I still can't believe the turnout we had (625+)! Your "keg" drive really helped and gave us the opportunity to do even more than we had originally planned for the members. Good show! Can't wait til the next one (course I'm not gonna "volunteer" for anything next time!)

Comments about the web site: Hey SgtMac, this is a kick ass site. I can't thank you enough for all the pictures and information you have provided me. I am currently in 10th grade and plan to do AFROTC, and hopefully get a job in Combat Control. I was wondering if you could give me details on the differences between officer and enlisted life in CCT. Thanks

Comments about the web site: Combat Control - September 1962 thru June 1967 Det 1 5th Aerial Port,Evereux France,Sept 1962 - Dec 1963 India Operation 1962 - 1963 Det 1 2nd Aerial Port, Dyess Texas, Jan 1964 - Jun 1967 TACP with 1st CAV in Vietnam, Jul 1965 - Dec 1965 WIA at Bong Son, Vietnam Dec 19, 1965

Comments about the web site: REUNION 2003...what a treat! Best time I've had in years. Seeing old friends I haven't seen in 25 years. Some, like Pete Taylor, my first NCOIC (Lockbourne AFB, Ohio) 35 yrs. Don't know how or why I stayed away so long. Nothing in my life compares to the friends and memories I have from CCT. The camaraderie is very evident and unbelievable. And how about these young guys we have in now? The ones I met and talked to are knowledgeable, dedicated and mature beyond their years. And POLITE! What's up with that, did someone threaten them to "be nice to the old guys"? Anyway it's gratifying to see that CCT is in such good hands. And it sure looks like the fortunes of CCT have risen in the last few years. They sure have cool toys and it blew me away to learn that the Sec'y. of the AF was to be the keynote speaker. Seems like we used to be lucky in getting the base or wing commander. And I'd like to send a heart-felt "thank you" to Al & Larry and all those who made the reunion such a success. I know it took a LOT of work, it was very well done and their efforts made for one helluva memorable time.

Comments about the web site: For those who knew Major Everett "Robbie" Robbins. Maj Robbie LM 011 passed away at his home in FWB Sunday night 26 Oct 03. There will be a visitation (1200-1400) and memorial service (1400) on Thursday, 30 Oct 03 at the McLaughin Mortuary, 17 SE Chestnut Ave, FWB. Phone number is 850-244-5163. Robbie will be laid to rest in Huntsville,Tn and there will a funeral service there at the Four Oaks Funeral Home, 2889 Baker Highway 63, Huntsville, Tn. That date and time is not firm due to the movement schedule. That telephone number is 423-663-4400. It is suggested that flowers be sent to the grave side location. Flower arrangements can be made through Andy's Flower Shop in Huntsville and their phone number is 423-286-8333. CMsgt Rick Crutchfield,"Ret" will be delivering the eulogy in FWB(excellent choice). For any changes or updates I would suggest contacting Lew Brabham at FWB. Our condolences go out to Tsai Chin and Family. Maj Robbie was a huge chunk of CCT history and will be truly missed. I knew him very well and could honestly say he was the enlisted mans "Leader and Teammate". God speed Robbie, my past experience with you will always bring smiles and define true friendship. RT out...........................

Comments about the web site: Hello Mac, What a bunch of great guys and gals were at this reunion. This is the first I have had to slow down and think about it and have to say that this was the best ever, thanks to the efforts of you and allot of others like Al and Rose Hooper and the rest of the north Florida crowd that acted as hosts for this. Hang in there. Rob and Anne Coulter

Comments about the web site: Mac Good to hear from you. Hope to get by to see you sometime. Jim

Comments about the web site: Dave and I attended the HUGE 50th Reunion and it was very memorable! It amazes me that so many still remember my brother, Andy Guillet. It's a mixed blessing that we've lost him but have made so many new friends because of him. Many thanks to all we labored to make the reunion as great as it was.

Comments about the web site: Raising a couple of grandkids....still working...

Comments about the web site: Mac,Thanks for all the work you do at this site keeping all of us together. If ever I find all of the stuff I've got in storage up and down the east coast I'll send you the pictures I have from Lee Everson's funeral in Wisconsin. Thanks again Edd Holster

Comments about the web site: Greetings from Ireland. I enjoyed looking around your site. Please visit our site www.minehane.net and let us know you called. Best wishes to you and all your visitors from our family

Comments about the web site: Mac, It was great meeting you and Jill at the 50th. Judy and I had a wonderful time and it was the greatest thing in the world to renew old friendships. It was like old family gathering, getting together with the old Sewart CCT members. Dave McCracken, Art Lawrence, Tom Laney, Donnie Mirabile, Jim Hiser, Gene Harris, Frank Betty, Moose Morris,Max Goodman,Jimmy Grisham, Keith Edwards, Bob Booth,Skip Arnold, Nick Genes,Charlie Mason, John Vohs, Bob Blowers, Adam Heller, and others I can't remember right now. Judy promised to find a girl friend for Donnie Mirabile, so I guess he will have to come visit us in Washington state. Ben Sihsmann and his wife Nancy stopped by and visited with us the week after the reunion. If anyone is in the area, please stop by. We are about 15 miles west of Mt Rainier and there is always cold beer in the fridge. Judy and I plan to visit with Jim Hiser over the Christmas Holidays as we will be in the area. The 50th was absolutely fantastic and my hat is off to all who made it happen. Thanks to all who put in the long hours and a special thanks to you Mac for all of your great work.

Comments about the web site: Stan and I are doing well. Living retirement to it's fullest.

Comments about the web site: Hey Mac! I have finally finished compiling all the changes to the CCA Roster from the Reunion. In addition to the ones you gathered in your membership drive, we gained 30+ new members from the best get-together the Association ever had and it's taken me a while to get it all sorted out. CCA members can now get an updated roster at any time just by sending me a request along with their membership number. You must be a CCA member to get a roster. Once I confirm membership I will e-mail a copy of the new roster to the requester. The roster is maintained in an .xls file(EXCEL) but I can also send it as a .pdf (Adobe Reader) document if you don't have EXCEL. Just let me know in your request.

Comments about the web site: Hello, My name is Walt Spangler. I am currently enrolled in AFROTC at Valdosta State University. I am highly interested in the Combat Control career field in the Air Force. I hope some day I will have the opportunity. Do Combat Controllers attend the combat divers course in Key West? I was just wondering if it was part of the pipeline? This is a great site, one of the best as far as Special Forces is concerned. Just wanted to drop a line.

Comments about the web site: I was wasting time while working looking up links like this to find old pictures of my dad. Might have found one or two, but my brain is fuzzy on details as I was only 5 when Dad was a CCT'er. He was TSgt Nathan E "Gene" Hoover. Shortest man in just about any old picture. I can tell you he was in CCT at McChord AFB somewhere between '69-'72, then we went to Mainz/Weisbaden/RhineMein from '72-'76. Don't know what he did there, just know that he was Air Force nearly always detached with the Army and was so for the remainer of his time in. Only name I can give you of fellow soldiers would be Hap Saunders, which I did find in one of the reunion shots. Anyhow, if you have pictures of Dad or just wanna say hi, please feel free. The saddest news of all, Dad passed away April 22, 2001 of a massive heart attack. Love to hear from any of you that might have known him and have a good tale to tell. - Vickie

Comments about the web site: Mac; "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart for all you do for our "Brothers and their families". I have enjoyed your satire, friendly pocks, jambs, and even a little humor to spike it for just that Right Favor. Please continue in this same or is that "Insane" method of shock therapy for the "Good of the Order". Seeing you, Jill and all my past buddies at the "Fiftieth” was one of my most “Memorable” times in my entire life. I hope you and yours, and all our “Comrades in Arms” and their families enjoy this season for what it really is. Compassion, Joy, Love, Peace,Thankfulness, and Full of Forgiveness! I pray for all our "Brothers and their Families" that are wearing the uniform and serving our Country. I am proud to call each and every one of them “My Dear Brother” and am so very glad that they continue To Come - To Serve, and will “Leave their Mark as We Did” Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Everyone!. Take pleasure in a “Bright and Safer America in 2004 , Because of Them”. Sincerely; Peter and Barbara Holt LM-35
