Strange that you should mention Kirtland. No...I'm not the S/Sgt you refer to. A/1c was as high as I could go without re-upping. I was, however, stationed at Kirtland, April'56-Oct'59.
34th Air Division. Over by the East gate and next door to the 86th Fighter Squadron.
That was back when you could go 6 blocks north or south off Central Ave. and be out in the desert.

I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS!

My favorite story from back in the day was working inside a parked B-52 in the summer sun during EMP tests. We had to close it up with me and another guy inside taking measurements, crawling around the various bays. Remember Slim Pickens in the B-52 bomb bay in Dr. Strangelove? That's where I was. We had a thermometer inside, it kind of gave up around 130. The only thing that saved us was drinking soda and the dry air. I could drink a 6 pack in one afternoon and not pee once.
