Verdie, Wow! I am really surprised to hear tropo lasted until 1992. I suppose that frees up a light of the RF spectrum for more cell phones. Oops, I went slightly sarcastic-my apologies. Thanks for the reply and info. Tom

Tom, In 1992 I shut the last TROPO off in Turkey. We converted to Satellite and fiber links. It was real strange because the country as a whole move this same direction in 1992 at the same time we did. The last active link was at Yamalar just above Izmir. I had a wonderful time in Turkey and plan on returning one day for a visit. There were lots of people involved with the migration from the 406L to Satellite. For instance, Keith Kruger, and Harry Holtzclaw at Ankara Circuit actions. Steve Mushad and Vic Marvic were key to our BBN connections. If I set here long enough the old names will continue to role. Some of the old guys are still in Turkey working for DoD contractors. I just remembered another name Cliff Devor. You will see him on this site from time to time. We even swung the DSN switch from Mt Pataras to Incirlik during my time in country. Like I said it was a wonderful time to work in Turkey.

Hi Verdie, I was at Incirlik 1966-1968. Did they still have tropo in Turkey in 1989 when you were there? Our main connection to "the world" was on the 486L tropo system. But when that was down we still had a couple HF trunks, and they could work pretty well if you knew how to do it. Also had submarine cables to the States out of Paris. Wonder if they still exist? Very little satellite stuff back then.

I've placed a story about my time in Vietnam as a tech controller at http://members.cox.net/72452/revetments/dec2006.pdf under the title "Getting There and Settling In." Probably doesn't bear much resemblance to Tech Control of today.

Hello all you Waterwalkers past and present! I need some help in preparing the retirement for an awesome AF Officer by the name of JOHN C. LIBURDI. The guy has been around for ever. He was stationed as a commander at Uxbridge (87-90) and San Vito (85- 86) so anyone being stationed there at that time please let me know what you may have. Additionally, anyone having any knowledge (dirt or compromising photos...haha) pls let me know. I want to ensure we give him a great ceremony and a farewell dinner he'll never forget. Take care and if you are coming by Ramstein AB, Germany -- Pls look me up! Can always make time to tip a cold one with some waterwalkers.

One of the founding fathers of the Air Force Tech Control career field passed away 15 Jun 06. CMSgt (Ret) Basil Martin died of an inoperable brain tumor. Mr. Martin was a radio operator when he started in the AF in 1949. As communications grew, the AF could no longer afford engineers to troubleshoot so they created Tech Control. The first Tech Controllers were the best troubleshooters from the radio career field. Anyone who knew Mr. Martin, knows he was one of the best. He retired in 1982, but came back as a civil servant and continued to shape DoD communications through the Tech Control, HF, AUTODIN, AFAMPE, and Switchboard at McClellan, eventually working with the HFGCS program before base closure. When McClellan closed, he became a contractor at Beale at DISA's request. There he managed the modernization of the Defense Information Infrastructure throughout the Western United States and oversaw the establishment of Beale as a Tech Control Facility. At age 75, Mr. Martin was stil one of the most dedicated and hard working people I have known. He will be missed.

It has been about 3 years since I last signed in. Anyone knowing how to get a hold of Dave DiFabio, please let me know. I met him in Djbouti in 2003 and want to know how he is doing. Also looking for Richart T. Holcomb. I lost track of him when he went to McClellan in the late '90s. I'd like to reconnect and find out how he is doing. Lastly, all of you take care and hope things are going well. IT is changing alot and am still amazed at what impact Tech Controllers are making around the world.

Just checking in again. Keep running into some of my old Water Walkers now and then. I work for Sprint, recently had an alarm on a DS3 out of Colorado Springs, looked up the local contact and it said Orian Flournoy...Bang!... Flash back to Mt. Vergine circa 1975 where a certain Orian Flournoy worked with me. I called and sure enough it was him! We caught up on old times and how it's a small world in tech control. Love seeing all of us old- timers still kicking!

Have not signed in for a while. I saw a lot of familar names while browsing the guest book and thought I should update my info. Keesler Tech School Nov93-Apr94, Yokota May94-Oct97, Cheyenne Mountain Oct97-June99. Seperated for active duty and moved back to Kansas. Thought I needed to be at home I guess. Started work in June 99 with Cellnet Data Systems (cellnet.com) and after six years there just started with HNTB (hntb.com). It was a fun ride and has been a great career.

Howdy folks...been a while for me. Yo, GEORGE! I'm looking for a Guardsman out of New Orleans...Ron Balsamo. He was a fast track tech controller when he worked with me on the Trilogy project. Same goes for Barb Fischer...she was originally from Mississippi - we were assigned together at Ramstein and Izmir. I haven't heard anything about either since Katrina hit. Any Water Walkers needing shelter and help, point them my way. I have room in my home and welcome the opportunity to help. DSN 779- 6413 or commercial 618-229-6413 are my daytime numbers. emmkaye@aol.com is my home email address. Oh...and we have a job opening for someone with Nortel experience...

See some familiar name out there. Sorry to hear about Terry Witt. He was at ECD when I was setting up the Systems Management Office in the 2005th at Sembach. Good man to work for and with. Left the 2005th in 1988 to be an instructor at Peterson AFB, got promoted out of a job and ended up At Norad as the Cheyenne Mtn Upgrade coordinator. That kept me busy till the day I retired, year 1991.

Yep,....Torrejon TCF from Oct. 1980 thru July 84. Was able to stop by the old TCF back in 95' and it was in a pretty sorry state due to the fact the base was winding down to be closed. It was a nice TCF, not to big or small. Worked everything from audio, digital, secure/nonsecure, T/T, PMIs. paperwork all in a days/nights work shift. Really liked doing the 12 hr. 3 days on / 3 days off shift work. After work,...run to the barracks, get changed, and run to Madrid to party.. see a concert, or run off somewhere else in Spain. Also had a Spanish girl friend who I married later on and still together after 23 years. Planning to return to Spain to buy a small place in the north and jump off the "Grid" and fade into that every beautiful Spanish sunset. Ever in Seattle,....drop me a line!

Hi, its been awhile since I ventured onto this site. I'm one of the old school 307X0 AFSC and now I know its changed considerably. For all you current Tech Controllers, can one of you tell me what the current AFSC is now for Tech Controllers. I'm trying to help a friend of mine who is interested in joining the Air Force and wants to know what the current AFSC is. By the way, I was at the following: McClellan AFB, CA 84-85, Osan AB, Korea 85-86, Onizuka AFB, (Sunnyvale), CA 86-92.

Hello Water Walkers! In memory of the bombing of Khobar Towers on 25 June 1996 we are having a moment of silence for those killed. At 1457 on Friday, 25 June 2004, please offer up a prayer or moment of silence for those lost to terrorist actions. Also, a special prayer goes out to SA Leonard Hatton. He was part of the FBI bomb task force sent to help us make sense of it all. On September 11, 2001 he entered the South Tower of the World Trade Center to aid in evacuation efforts and was lost when the tower collapsed.

It's been almost two years since I last posted a message. I more frequently monitor the Yahoo Tech Cntl Grp called "waterwalkers" The WEB addres for this group is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/waterwalkers You have to have a yahoo ID and join this group but that is not a problem and costs nothing. Like this group, it brings back many fond memories. My history: Keesler - 1969; RAF Croughton - 69 to 72; 5th MOB - 1973; Don Muang, Thailand (unique assignment to say the least) - 73 to 74; Andrews (primary TCF) - 74 to 75; Clark AB (Autovon TCF) - 75 to 76; Andrews (so good I had to come back a 2nd time)- 76 to 78; Feldberg RRL (I came here on a two year assignment and stayed 5 yrs) - 78 to 83; Pentagon (challenging: Comm grp merged with Data Svcs) - 83 to 86; and DCA Ops Cntr (my worst assignment) - 86 to 89. In 1989 the AF gave be an assignment to Izmir, Turkey. Since, I had over 20 years guess what I did? I am currently working in Govt civilian service. I would enjoy hearing from anyone that knows me.

It is great to see a site for Tech Controllers. I am from the Olden Days of 307¿s! ¿68-¿69 was in 2nd Mob (Talking Bird) at RAF Mildenhall, England. ¿69-¿70 was in the TCF at USAF High Wycombe, England. ¿70-¿71 was in the TCF at Incirlik, Turkey and ¿71-¿72 was in 3rd Mob at Tinker AFB. I looked at all the email archives and didn¿t see any of my old buddies. Let me see, there was John `Slots¿ Boyer, Phil `Foggy¿ Nunan, `Buzz¿ Fergeson, Ralph DeLuca, Frank `Porno¿ Hadley, `Pop¿ Matthews among others. If anyone knows of them or are out there, would be great to hear from them.

Keesler-73, McClellan Pri & Autodin-74, Feldberg RRL- 75-77, Griffis-78. Been with GTE, now Verizon, since 1980 doing C.O. maintenance. Just like Tech Control, Radio Maint. and Switch Maint. rolled into one, except now I know why they thought we were a pain in the butt. I'd like to hear about the reunion if someone wants to drop me a line.

The web site SAIC.COM shows "Info Tech/Telecommunications (1335 Job Openings)" I checked the list and there are many openings that Tech Controllers can handle. One in Miami specifically asks for a Tech Controller type. SAIC is a good company to work for. There was also one in Jacksonville Fl for a Comm Manager that looked like a Tech Controller could handle. Keep posting job openings to keep everyone employed.

Wow, been a long time since I have been here, I lost the URL and only recently found it. Original 307 Tech Controller... McClellan, Mt. Vergine, Sunnyvale, Diyarbakir, Cheyenne Mtn, HQ ECD/Kapaun Ge, finally 9 years with the 5th Mob, Robins AFB. Currently working Broadband maintenance (DS3 and higher, Sonet/DWDM/BBDACS) as Network Technical Specialist with Sprint in Atlanta. Have worked 10 years there since retirement. Was Senior Trainer, Network Engineer, and Supervisor before moving on to Broadband. Miss alot of my old buddies, I hear from a few now and then. The Comm world has sure changed since the days of FDM muxes, Codex, VFTGs and 75 baud TTY. Oh and I just finished working about a year in Sprint's FTS-2000 government group as NTS, worked alot of those military point to point circuits for ya. Worked with alot of tech controllers out there. Still working those DS3 and OC3 and up for government too. If Sprint is the carrier, then I've probably worked it on an outage! Tech control has provided me with an exceptional career, both in the Air Force, and with Sprint. Drop me a line you guys!

Hello fellow WW, I just recently received a contract to work in JP, doing technical and satellite work. I was wondering has anybody worked as a contractor out East, and if so, what type of bennies did your company get? I'd like to know what to expect before I sign. Email me, if there is someone who can assist, before I take the plunge.

Don't forget to send us your resume to post. Sending it out 6 months prior to getting out is not too soon.

It's been awhile since I last visited this site, so I'd like to extend a Happy New Year's wish to all my fellow Tech Controllers. I retired 1.5 years ago and I'm back out at Schriever (formerly Falcon AFB) working as a GS. I did a little stint as a contractor for about 8 months, but there was to much travel involved with that job. Just to recap assignments: 79-82 Langerkopf; 83-85 March AFB; 85- 90 Feldberg; 90-93 Hickam AFB; 93-95 Kelly AFB; 95- 96 Kunsan AB; 96-01 Falcon (now Schriever) AFB. I'd enjoy hearing from old friends, especially those planning to attend the Feldberg reunion. WaterWalkers still rule.

Got out, did a little electronic security work for Mosler Safe for a couple years in New Jersey & Kansas, spent a lot of good years at NASA Goddard Tech Control (NASCOM), a short stint with MCI International in Wash DC, and now at ARINC in Annapolis, MD. Heard about the Feldberg reunion happening Apr 03 in Colorado, might have to see if I can make that.

Our Company is looking for a Few Good Tech Controllers to fill upcoming openings CONUS & Hawaii. Visit www.romeresearch.com and follow employment links. Also check out the "News" links for our recent acquisitions. BTW: TAPS briefings don't give you the real story. One page resumes are dead for defense contracting.

Just slinging my name around for any friends who may happen to be looking at the site. History: Graduated from Tech Control school in Oct of 1968, went to McClellan from then till June of 1969. Went to West Berlin to the 6912th comm center, HBE, till May of 1971. Got out from there, went to school, got married in Dec of '71, reentered the Air Force in Jan of '73 and cross-trained into electronic countermeasures (aircraft) and went to Castle AFB in Sept of '73. Stayed there until March of '74 then went to Ubon and Korat, Thailand--working on AC-130's. From there I went to Keesler as an instructor in Tech Control. Left Keesler in Sept of '76 and went to Bad Munder/Hessisch Oldendorf germany as the last original member of the 609th TCS tech control (62 van) technical control facility. (Others were Frank (sorry Frank...I've lost your last name!!), John Carson, Mark Reeves, and me). Left there in August of '79 and went to Robins and the 5th Mob. From there I went to Mt Limbara in Jan 81, back to Robins in Dec '81, and then back to Limbara in August 84. I got tired of the yo-yo so I then went to McClellan again in '85. I stayed there until Jun of '89 and then went to Zweibrucken until Jun of 91--when we shutthe base down. From there I went to Patrick and the 2nd Mob, 23rd TCS and retired as a MSgt in August 93. After retirement I attended the University of Central Florida for 3 years, ran out of time, money, and GI bill at the same time and had to stop 3 courses from my degree in Information Systems Engineering Technology--I'm finishing them now. From there I started working at Nokia's cell phone repair facility in Melbourne, FL where I am a line lead technician. Sorry to be so long-winded, but 24 or more years don't summarize easily.

I was active duty from '78 to '82. Ramstein AB for 3 of those years and Andrews AFB on my way out the door. I have been at Sprint from '82 until now. It does not look good for continued employment. I was also in the ILANG(264thCCS) from '85 to '99 where I finally got the better of a TSQ-111! Hey to all the controllers I worked with in what seems like another life. Hey to all of those who joined Sprint and have survived the lay offs.

Being a TC was the best choice I could have made. I have many fond memories of training at Keesler and being at Offutt. Looking forward to hearing from some old friends.

We the waterwalker kept the Tylenol and Excedrin people in business. Today is a whole new world then the FM days (remember guys and gals). The radio shots, huge audio modems, workin' with a brickand any wire you could find. Now it's making CAT-6 and Fiber Optic cables to support the networks. When proper security is established wirless will end that. Study now, for the one walks the water will control it all.

USAF Tech Controller un AFCS. Keesler 1965-66, then Incirlik 1966-68, then Tan Son Nhut, 1968-69. TCO has obviously evolved into the CNE world. Makes sense, but when I was a Tech Controller we spent a lot of our time with sideband radio trunks and microwave/tropo shots. We supplied much of the comms via 61.12 baud teletype circuits. Yeah, real screamers back then. Looking for Tom Palmer (MA), Tom Donovan (CA), Jim Parkinson (UT), and any others I knew who care to drop a line and say, "INT QRK?" CUL

Nortel, Lucent, Erickson, on the ropes, 187,000 Telecom jobs lost, with Nortel cut 7,000 more today. For those of you that have a job, hope you get to keep it. For those of us looking my hopes are with you. If you are still in the service STAY. If you got out good luck. If you know of anything in the DC area that doesn¿t require a active clearance let me know. Take Care

Hello Everyone, It's been a few years since I've signed on here, but I'm glad to see this page is still around. I've changed the @ in my email address to stop spam...just put it back in place of "at" to contact me. I've been a tech controller the entire time and I know that it's unusual, but I'm still in the AF. This is THE BEST job in the AF! I've enjoyed almost every assignment and some TDY's. Here's a brief rundown of my assignments: 85-86 Tech School- Keesler, MS; 86-89 3CISG/3CCGP Tinker, OK; 89-92 1CCGP Lindsey ASN,GE; 92-94 384CS/22CS McConnell,KS; 94-96 RAF Croughton Primary; 96-98 4CS BNCC/WICP Seymour-Johnson, NC; 98-99 607ASOG Tac-Comm Planning Osan, ROK; 99-02 9CS Beale AFB, CA...and now I've just moved to Japan...374CS, OL-C Camp Zama. Several TDY's also to places like Honduras, Turkey, UK, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia...etc. I'll probably be looking at civilian job opportunities after I finish with this assignment in 2006. Drop me an email...

I am also sad to hear this news. I knew Mark since 1982, he picked me up at the airport when I reported into my first TCF assignment. And we had 3 assignments together. He was a true friend and Waterwalker, he set the example for others to follow...

I lost contact with him when he went back stateside. He was such a wonderful person and always nice to everyone. My prayers go out to his family.

21 years as a Tech Controller. Azores, Kapaun AS, 5th Mob, Lindsay AS, Columbus AFB, Ramstein, Scott, Andrews, Vaihingen, Scott and deployments to Egypt, Bosnia, Kosovo and Saudi so many times it's sickening. Currently working on Joint Terrorism Task Force and I need folks who don't mind a lot of travel. My team upgrades computers and transforms token ring to Ethernet in the top law enforcement offices in the country. TS/SSBI a must. Send me a resume. Cisco certs preferred. We have 6 teams deploying and you don't have to relocate.

Hi All, I went through TC school in '69. Spent time at Offutt(SAC), PI (Autovon and Sat), Italy (NATO at Verona) and ended up at Tinker at the programming office. Retired in '89 and came to Dallas to work for my former Chief (Larry Grauel) at ESI. Got caught in the layoffs last year and have been looking ever since. Really enjoy the site. Drop me an email if we crossed paths (I was Mike Echo in the controls). Anyone know of any openings in the Dallas area, I would appreciate it, will work for food :). Steve

I just went through the TCF web site and it is still in great shape. Saw some names I had not seen for years. I was a 30 year Tech Controller. Started at Hickam AFB, went to England, to McClellan AFB three times, Naples Italy, Sembach Germany, and Scott AFB. Finished off my AF career in England, after tours at RAF Martlesham Heath (Home of the Heathens), and RAF Croughton, where I retired. I was married during my first tour in England (1967-1971). Celebrating 33 years on July 5th this year. Have three children: Chris (29), Jon (24 and Lisa (16). Worked for Northern Telecom Int. (NORTEL) from Jul 93 - Jan 96. Switched to Network Equipment Technologies (NET) at Scott AFB, IL (Jan 96 - Aug 97. Went Civil Service in Aug 1997, working in the same facility at Scott. If you are ever in the area, please look me up. I am in the phone book. Would love to hear from you, either by phone or e-mail. If you are interested in looking at a great business, check out my web site. I am looking for the status on a Bill Hanson. Worked at ARINC in Maryland. Haven't heard from him or of him for about two years. Also does anyone know a Louis W. Wilson, Jr? He was in Sembach, Germany, with Bill and me. His last whereabouts was Tinker AFB, where I believe he got out of the AF. He then disappeared from the face of the earth! Would love to hear from both, Bill and Louis. Can anyone help?

Keesler 1973 McClellan Primary 1973-74 Incirlik 74-75. Did first half at the NCMO, and the last half at Karatas. Chops "Papa Echo" for the whole career. And it wasnt "Personal Error". Some of you old folks might remember me on the shout down order wire. Hell, I didn't know it was hooked all the way to Italy. Course I was in Turkey, so what did I care? 76-78 2nd MOB Patrick AFB, when there were no vans, and we certed with books. 78 - 80 601 TACC - overlooking the football field at Sembach, and out in Mehelingen as part of the GEADGE setup. You remember GeADGE? Mobile vans tied to the ground. 80-81 - MacDill - in the NCMO there too. went back to germany, as part of the 4th ATAF - in the cave - Kindsbach Germany. Probably the best assignment of the career. Around 85 I went to the 5th CCSG at Robins, but only for a few months, then over to the 1926 Comm Sq, where I joined the flegling, two man deep Base Central Test Facility. Of couse there was no "Central Test Facility", and the second man ran off on another assignment, but this was the best "growth" position. I was fortunate it have good commanders, and great people, and the opportunity to build the section from the ground up. Added allot of test equipment to the Table of allowances, of course, you youngsters probably don't use any of it now. Since "Analog" isn't used much for anything any more, and what we had as digital is laughable by todays standards. Retired in 1993. Yeah - that was a long time at one station. I was just really lucky. I should have stayed on in Robins. But I thought working for a friend would be good. Went to Ohio for a year, and worked myself out of a job. I fixed all the problems, installed a few PBX's, and was let go. Did four years at United Press International, as a/the Senior Communications Manager. My Military experience landed the job. Being a jack of all telecom made the difference. Now, Im with Exodus Communications, and waiting for the next round of layoffs, especially since we've been bought by Cable & Wireless. It's been a hell of a ride. Nearly became "independently" wealthy. If you are still in, a word of advice, taken from 20/20 hindsight. I wish I'd not spent so much time working on the "technical" side of the job, and been more like my underlings - Go to College. Do the CCAF thing ( if it is still a benifit), otherwise get a degree. If you have a clearance, and you're planning to get out, use it. Get a govt job, or with a govt contractor - there aren't any telecom jobs to be had with out the BS and the Clearance. Enough whining. Water Walkers we are! Thanks for letting me look back. And I see some names that are familiar. I'm bookmarking your site now. Thanks for creating it!

Great site. Need some way to search through the names easier though. Going cross-eyed from reading all the guest book archives. Life history...1975 tech school at Keesler, oct 75 to 77 4th MOB at Altus, OK, 77 to 79 Sembach, GE. discharged on my birthday, May 1st 1979. five years with MCI in Cleveland, OH and Nashville, TN. Almost 18 years now with Sprint in Nashville, then Memphis, and now Nashville again. I still know where most of the rest of "chicken shift" from Sembach is...pretty much lost track of everyone else.

It's been a while since I signed on, so I'll refresh my guestbook entry. I was at Keesler AFB in tech school from November '80 until June '81. I was stationed at RAF Croughton, in the 2168th Comm. Sq., from June '81 until June '83, working in the AUTODIN PTF. I finished up my Air Force stint at Maxwell AFB/Gunter AFS, in the 1973rd Comm. Sq., from June '83 until September '84. I did a one-month TDY to Keesler while stationed at Maxwell/Gunter, having taken the old 5-level course they used to offer. Since getting out of the Air Force I worked for Lockheed Aircraft Company (doing telecom) for some 9 years, then did contract work for NationsBank (in Atlanta, Georgia) for about 4 years (doing telecom again). I'm now in my 4th year of working for a consulting firm, and am currently supporting Concert Global Communications, located in Smyrna, Georgia. I'm supporting their Cisco/StrataCom WAN switch networks. I'm always interested in hearing from any of the old fellow tech controllers from the past.

Hi All; I served in the Air Force from 1969 - 1973, with my only field assignment being to Feldberg RRL W. Germany from 1970-73. Had many fine times, both on and off the job there. Since, I worked at Xerox, MCI, U of Calif and Cylink Corporation in various positions but always involving comm engineering. Last place, Cylink, I was Sr. Tech engineer for internet hardware encryption. I retired in 2000, though have done some consulting since. Currently, have a novel set in an AF comm site in the 70's, sort of historical fiction / ghost story. Should go into print later this year. Best to all; BC (aka: 'Bunny Crusher')

What's up Billy Ray!? Now you know the Air Force isn't going to let you go. STOP LOSS! Hey Dusty! Space Command sure isn't like Tech Controllin' with the Army. Chuck Ebersole?! It has been a long time since you and I were sitting at Osan Tech Control. And J.J., sorry to see you punch out after 10 years, but best of luck to you. A quick Tech Control update: Julio Hernandez a.k.a OSO is still "down range" in Bosnia making 6 figures tax free! Mark Rice is still working for DISA-Korea. John Nelligan is tucked away at Peterson AFB, CO doing engineering work (he made MSgt). Tom Brooke is at Prince Sultan supporting Operation Enduring Freedom; working at JTF-SWA engineering division. I'll be joining him REAL SOON (22 FEB 02). My orders say 95 days, but the small print basically states I have an open- ended ticket. Well, I'll sign off for now. ROSF.//PH

I work as a contractor now on Langley, and I referee NCAA Men's College Basketball too. So if you catch me on TV doing a game, please don't boo to loud. I'm glad that some of you I've had the pleasure of working with are still doing your thing in the real world. Has anyone seen Tut, Merc or Rossica from the PI days? Matter of fact, who's been back to the PI? Keep in touch. Peace!

Been awhile since I signed in so thought I would update anyone who cares what happened to me. After 20 years, I finally retired 1 April 2001 and finally landed a job with Sprint on 29 Jul 01 as a Network Operations Specialist. That means I'm responsible for 144 miles of fiber optic cable and 7 facilities with Ciena and Alcatel fiber muxes. My office is at home and they give me a truck, tools, and a gas card. My boss is over 2 hours away and my nearest co-worker is an hour away. Been putting a lot of my tech control skills to good use with all of the new fiber muxes we've been installing. Hope everyone has a happy holiday season and a great 2002!

I'm currently @ Osan Tandem Switch. Only other place I've been is Andrews TCF 89th CS July '99 to May '01. Following on to Edwards AFB, CA, then who knows where! Any waterwalkers out there who went to tech school Mar '99 to July '99? Most of the guys on this list were retired by that time! I'd like to say hi to James "Rambone" Faria out of Croughton! He's working Onizuka now. Oh, and one more greeting to all those guard guys from my tech school class!

I haven't signed on in a while just like to say hi to all my fellow tech controllers the ones I have worked with and the ones that I hope to sometime work with. I would like to wish Carol Mullins good luck in retirement and for those of you that have worked with her know that she is a Class Act and a great woman. I would also like to try to round up all the tech controllers in the San Antonio area to go out and get a beer because we all know that Tech Contollers Military and Civilian are good people to know and we seem to get along most of the time. Andrews primary TCF 97-98, Incirlik Dec 98- Mar 01, now Lackland Annex SA TX MRSOC...

News about SKT: Last year was the first year we actually used the Occupational Survey Data Report to construct the SKT. We constructed the test based upon the jobs 3C2s were actually doing. Some of you may have noticed the absence of the UCC-4 test questions. A time-honored tradition finally bit the dust! The OSDR gave us the power to do a 14-page critique at the end of our SKT rewrite last year. Granted, the CDC and reference material still falls under Electrolux qualities, but Keesler is working on that based upon the critique and SMSgt Heurter's hard work on the NEW CDCs. This year, many of you have those boring surveys in front of you...PLEASE MAKE THE TIME TO FILL THEM OUT. Although decent substitute, CMSgt Snyder is not a 3C2 and does not understand our manpower and job issues well enough. No one can hold a candle to a Tech Controller with a complaint! We've lost an entire FAC of tech controllers to the system and "they" don't know what to do with DII folks. They only understand FAC 38DA (NCC). There are SNCO Water Walkers (a few are "day- oners") trying to muscle in some help for you. Help those "zebra sleeve water walkers" help you by doing the surveys. Dean...keep pushing for the $$$ incentives! - Moonshine

Currently in the ANG in Garland TX. Pay the bills by working as a Certified Tivoli instructor. Recognize a ton of names (Lyle Chartrand, Hector Gonzalez, Mark Conrad, Jody Nowalk). Many may try to dilute the gene pool through semi-selective AFSC merging, but the true Waterwalker will always rule..////JS

What a great site. I've been a tech controller since they were 307X0 through the tough years as a 493X0 and now I'm stuck as a 3C2X0. 20+ years and have been all over the world. Assignments include, Clark AB RP, Buckly ANGB, Keesler as an Instructor, Comiso Italy, Patrick AFB (2nd Mob which means the beach in the middle east during the storm) and the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), McClellan and finally Hill AFB UT. I'm looking for a active duty person (actually 2 or 3) who would like to be assigned in LA. The job is special duty and there is extensive travel involved all over the world. Anyone interested let me know. The people are all hand picked by my boss and I.

It has been a while since I've seen a Tech control list, It is great to see wome familiar names. I retired in 1993 after 30 years as a Tech Controller. (Don't know if I would do it again though). I was stationed at Hikam for my first tour to duty - this convinced me that there were possibilities in the AF as a career. It worked. I also spent time in Diyarbarkir, Turkey; Naples, Italy; Sembach, Germany; RAF Martlesham Heath, England: Three tours at McClellan AFB, Ca; and two Tours at RAF Croughton, England. After Retirement I worked for Northern Telecom (Nortel) for about 30 months. I now work cor DISA at Scott AFB, IL. would love to hear from olf friends and fellow water walkers.. //Fernando "Cal"

Background; Air Force Tech Control - Feldberg RRL 1970 - 1973. College, then Xerox Computer Services 1979 - 1988, MCI 1988 - 1989, Univ. of Calif. 1989 - 1993. Cylink corporation as Sr. Technical Engineer for internet encryption products 1995 - 1999; still consulting for their Frame and ATM encryptors and other products on occasion.

Best to all my Tech Control buddies, of whatever service.

This is going to be my last sign in as an active duty Tech Controller. The Air Force is going to let me retire/kick me out, 1 Jun. Had my fill of the AF. Had my fill of Scott also, but it was nice being a Tech Controller. Getting ready to move west to Phoenix. Here's my rap sheet: Cheyenne Mtn 87-92, Osan 92-93, Yokota 93-97, Scott 97-99, and Scott/AFCA-ScopeNet 99-01. If anyone out there has anything to do with the Phoenix area let me know.

There will be openings for Help Desk people (NOSC and Tivoli types), Information Assurance/Security people, and Exchange Administrators. If you have a current security clearance, of course that's a plus. My email is mconrad@donet.com or wwiinut@hotmail.com if you want to discuss. My commercial number is 937-904-1415, M-F as well. I've been on the CITS team since September doing installs and teaching (CITS and VPN) in Japan, California, Mississippi, Virginia, England and Norway so far, with a trip back to beautiful Saudi Arabia (3rd time to the beach. Yippee.) coming up.

Found the site, while looking for information to bang a resume together. Nice to see Snoopy waterwalking again. I'm a member of the TXANG, who recently completed the 3C231 course at Keesler. Unfortunately..I only have training, and no experience as of yet, which makes writing a good resume a bit of a challenge. I'm currently looking for an entry level civilian position or contemplating going onto active duty..because this is something I would very much like to do. After all, I wouldn't want the "lovely" 4 months I spent at Keesler to go to waste. Anyway..nice site..and I will be checking back often. Take care.

Joined in Jan 2000 and went through basic and tech school, which is now only 4 months and shrinking, and arrived at Offutt on July 11. I am proud to say that I am following in my dads footsteps, as he was a Waterwalker for approx 21 years.

Fellow Water Walkers, I have a need for 27 network engineers in the next 60 days. Experience in Cisco routers and switches, Nortel Optical Equipment is highly desired. Relocation to Georgia is not necessary but is preferred. There will be some travel involved, when travel is involved, the work week will only be four days. Stock options are part of the sign on and benefits include the standard health and 401k. This is a start-up but there is no VC funding involved... we have the Capital cash to sustain us for over 5 years with equipment purchases, this is NOT a DOT COM fiasco! If this interests you please get in touch with me via e- mail; ssmart@lasershift.com, or contact me by LL at 770-441-1800 ex 104. Please take note this is a serious offer to all you Controllers out there. We are opening 25 sites nationwide and need the engineers. Contact me soon if you think this is something that you would be interested in.

I came across this website this morning, and thought it would be beneficial to both parties if I made some contact with you. I'm a Telecommunications Recruiter, working with companies across the country, who are looking for permanent employees. We concentrate on wireline & wireless positions, mainly technician, engineer and/or management level positions. Please provide my name and number to those who may be interested in sending a resume! Thank you! Megan Miller 888-303-0361 x109

It's good to be able to stay in touch with the folks I "grew up" with in Tech Control. I believe efforts like John's work with the TSCA is important in helping each other find our fit in the civilian community. After working briefly for Newlink Global Engineering (supporting ONI) and LOGICON (supporting DISA), I'm presently a SAIC warrior supporting the Joint Staff/J6. I was assigned to High Wycombe AS, England, Tinker AFB, OK (both 3rd Herd & the ASC), Springfield MAP, Ohio, Keesler AFB, MS (both 3 & 5 level courses), Karamursel CDI, Turkey, RAF Croughton, England, Scott AFB, IL (Hammer Ace), Florennes AB, Belgium, Randolph AFB, TX, Patch Barracks (DCA now DISA-Europe), RAF Mildenhall, England, RAF Uxbridge (Hillingdon), England, and The Pentagon.
