729th TCS Eglin AFB #3 1965 to 1968

Hello,
I was a radar repairman at Eglin AFB from 1965 thru 1968. I'm trying to find others who were there.

Thanks,
Les

Greetings!!

I am glad to know that there is at least one survivor of the 729th other than myself! I visited Field 3 last year and would you believe that the baracks across from the BX are still standing?? E-mail me if you are interested in photos, rehashing old times at field 3 etc. Did you go thru the 729th Combat school?

Hello TOP,

Wow, talk about timing!!! I just received my denial letter from the VA today and was depressed.

Do I remember combat school??? The VA stated, "... 'you were a radar repairman. This position is not considered to be a position in which you would have received combat training and/or used rifle grenades.' ...". I must have hallucinated about the M16 rifles, M60 machine gun, the old tank with the gas cannon and etc too!

Boy do I have some stories about those old barracks. Yes I would like photos, rehashing old times at field 3 etc. I look forward to your email.
Respectfully,
Les
