SGT Carl Blas - They did participate in Desert Storm, even developed the "tank plinking" tactic but got sent to the boneyard after that.

Sgt John Steinmeier
Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - Not only do they not know what SAC was, but as an entity what it truly was...a cult run by zealots.
I was never SACumcised only USAFE, MAC and ATC (a few more probably not known)

SPC Thomas Lansing
Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - If I am not mistaken, and it has been a long time since I have been there, but I believe Giffiss AFB had one of those patches at the gates! But I can't remember what Stewart, England, or Barksdale AFB had at their gates.
