I was there for jump school in the early 80’s.
Good times.
That is a fabulous museum! I’ve been twice, can’t recommend it enough.
Did my basic training and AIT there. I’d like to go back and see the old stomping grounds.
Went through jump school in 1969, 2 weeks later I left San Francisco headed to Vietnam. # days later I was on a scenic mountain top called FOB Bastogne in the middle of the A Shau valley with the 502 101st Air Mobile. Never jumped again.
We took our Boy Scout troop there for Veterans Day. I made sure I pointed out the section in the Korean War gallery that made mention of the fighting before the invasion to my youngest. That is when my father was serving over there as a medic. Most people do not realize that the Norks were causing trouble in the South before the war started. It was only recently that I found out about it myself because I couldn’t figure out how my father was in Korea and graduated college in 1952, so he clarified the timeline for me.
