I was not avionics trained but spent nine months at Ft. Sill, training as a radar repairman. I was sent to Bangkok and the closest thing they had to radar was a satellite tracking station out in the boonies. From there I went to the 70th Sig. Det. I remember a large person of American Indian extraction who insisted on not being bothered during alerts and who stayed in his bunk. Don't remember his name. I was friends with Howard Humphries and visited him in Mass. some years ago but have lost contact with. I believe we shared the hooch with Hq. people and there was a Tex Pittman who was supposed to be related to the 119th First Shirt. Tex went home on leave and got interviewed and written up in a newspaper for some heroic deeds. A pilot's wife saw the article and sent it to the pilot, "Here's a story about a guy in your outfit." Turned out there was some dispute about Tex's participation in the event. I think he got shipped out or didn't come back from leave.
