served in the 628th MASS from 1988 to 1989 and helped the Russians following the Armenian earthquake. In retrospect this was a clue the cold war was coming to a close.

The Red Onion just across the street from the gate (at least it was when I was there 89-90). When I used to work the gate on the midnight shift the smell of freshly baked eckmec in the early morning hours starting around 0400 wafting from across the street was almost enough for me to abandon my post. Fortunately the Turkish AF NCO would have one of his guys run across the street around 0500 and buy it. Chi and fresh bread and butter in the morning...mmmmm good

Sgt John Steinmeier - BP cafe moved from down on the highway to directly across from the gate, was 2 story and had tables on the sidewalk outside. Red Onion was just a few building on the side street next to BP. They added an outdoor dining area in the back that was really nice. Loved their chicken tava

Spent a few months in tent city, 2002-2003 between trips in and out of Afghanistan on the Detainee Missions. Was able to bring back a Huglu Over-Under and a bunch of good carpet from the "alley".
