Navy vet here; I was stationed at NAF Misawa 1984-1986. I worked on the tail end with the team that built and implemented Ripsaw Bombing Range and then operated the range working with JASDF. I was there when Col. Ryan was the CO of the new 432nd fighter wing {F16s} and Capt. Evans was our skipper at NAF Misawa. Small world, eh?Had the pleasure of working with a lot of Navy, Marines, and Army at Misawa AB Japan back in the 80's.......
I dang sure remember that grinder. Can’t imagine how much sweat that thing has gotten poured over it.Orlando is where I did boot also; May to July in 1982. Jeez, the grinders would blind and blister you in the summer sun.![]()
