Really enjoy reading entries to the guest book. Wonderful moments of recollection and remembrances. I was with the 822nd TMS from 1962 to 1964. Launch crew 1-4 (Chargirl One).
Very memorable moments for me occurred during October of 1962 and November of 1963. Those of course were the dates of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the assassination of President John Kennedy. Very tense days for all of us, particularly for those of us who were accompanied by dependents.

I was at Ramstein AB when this album (https://sembachmissileers.org/gi_germany_vol1/)was made working in the GCA unit. Brings back a lot of memories! Sembach was the approach control at that time, and we did a few trips back and forth socializing. Beer drinking as otherwise known! Great time of my life and my first real adventures. Still have many fond memories and can see it all as clear today as when I was living it. Thanks for sharing the album.
Happy Veterans Day to everyone
Arrived Sembach Feb 65 Feb 68, 38th AP Sq. spent 8 months at Grunstadt.

Was stationed at Sembach 71-72 with 601 TCMS. Spent my last year on the mountain running power for the trc 97 radio relay units. I done a full 12 hour night shift and loved it usually alone . I still remember the giant jack rabbits in the early morning headlights. Had a German F104 nose in about a hundred yards from the power plant. Just stood there wondering when he was going to pull up. The pilot had punched out a mile back. Good times.

Father, John A. Burri stationed at Sembach Air Base approximately 1968-72. He was a "scope dope", radar operator, I think he said. Our entire family was there, Mom, my two sisters and I. Lived first in Wurttemberg, then Enkenbach-Alsenborn, and finally on base housing, building 64-A2 if I remember correctly. Great childhood memories. Dad passed away in 2010. Would love to hear from anyone who may have known him or simply served there at the same time. burritone at comcast dot net

FYI - I changed your input. I replaced "1967" with "1966" as the missiles were phased out in Sept. 1966. 🙂
Like you, I worked for IBM (Customer Engineer) after leaving the AF (1966). I retired in 2002 (35 years).
Regards, Russ
ps - Checkout www.TacMissileers.org. They have a reunion scheduled for Sept. 2022. Sembach is usually well represented.

Just ran across this site. I was stationed at Sembach AFB from 1956 to 1959. 1234th AACS squadron. Seeing this site brings back a lot of great memories. "Sembatch Airpatch" will always hold a special place in my heart.
