My post was not a hit on yours. I'm also former USAF (or Chair Force as my son tells me). Stationed at Minot in the 70's - Security Police - Baby sat the BUFFS.
I'm just sooo proud of all of our service men and women, whether playing on the field or battling our enemies in the sand. They have earned our undying gratitude and can never be repaid for what they do for us.
Cudos to the ESPN guys for giving that description of those cadets.
Were you a member of the Minot Mountain Movers? Uffda!
My brother was also stationed at Minot from around 71-74. We always took our family vacation wherever he was, so we visited there 3 times. Drove out by car in the "family truckster, but my sister's boyfriend flew out to join us one summer, and he loved the sign he saw...."WHYNOT, MINOT?"
The winters sure were brutal there, I remember my brother and sister in law talking about digging out when the snow was as deep as the top of their door!
