I did 23 years in the Air Force. Entire career was as a Morse Intercept Operator/Supervisor/Superintendent. Retired in 1992 as a MSgt (E7) with my final assignment at Misawa Air Base, Japan.
I served in Biloxi, MS, Anchorage, Alaska, Clark Air Base, PI, RAF Chicksands, UK, NSA/Fort Meade, MD, Iralkion Air Station, Crete, Greece, HQ ESC, San Antonio, TX, Misawa AB, Japan.
It was a great career, I got to meet some incredible people and work with some of the finest people who ever walked the earth. I got to visit some amazing places and lived within the culture of most of the overseas sites.
I've been retired for 28 years now and there hasn't been a day where I wasn't ready to go back. The bad guys, for the most part, quit using High Frequency Morse communications but I'm adapt at using the equipment to intercept and analyze the various communion modes in use today. I'm old now, almost 70, and couldn't run the requisite distances but I'd give it my best try.
