Theres still an abandoned Nike Site in Sandy Hook NJ, and their is A Nike Ajax as you drive towards the compound but you are not allowed to go into the Nike Site for a tour. Must be a shortage of Park Rangers.

Hi Everyone My names Andrew Dixon. I joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in Jun 1981 and Transferrred to the RAAF Reserve in Jul 2001. Due to family problems I had to leave the Reserve. However, I joined the Australian Air Force Cadets (AAFC) like your CAP on leaving the RAAF I am now a Flight Sergeant (FSGT) Instructor.
I was on the old Cold War Veterans Forum a few years ago. I walk with the USAF and USN in Woomera from 1988 to 1991.

Welcome Andrew. The Aussies have always been top notch allies. Worked with some RAAF troops when I was in Guam. Great guys.

I am indeed a range-rat - 24C20 (IHAWK Firing Section). Spent about 60% of my six years at Bliss, also a ReForGer to Wildflecken ("Wild-Chicken"), etc. Never got to SoKo though, for which I am happy; I don't like the sound of that "Siberian Express." Freaking Brr!
A couple of my off-base roommates were teaching staff for you Nike-Herc guys too (this'd be very late 70s/early 80s).

Welcome IHAWK. I appreciated the ADA guys that protected me at Spangdahlem AB, Germany during the Cold War and later in Kuwait.

My Name is Bruce Paulson I served on the USS John F. Kennedy CV-67 from 1985 till 1988. I was an Aviation Boatswains Mate assigned to Catupult number 3 on the Waist Catupults. After doing my share of oversea deployments I got out and joined the Naval Reserve which I was assigned to the Naval Air Station Willow Grove in Pennsylvania. I finally went inactive reserves in 1990 and Officially Discharged in 1992.

Hi, I was one of the first women to go through basic with the guys in 2/81. I was assigned to a Hawk Missile unit in Germany after AIT. We were always getting bomb threats and yes had some go off . Our unit was always on high alert because of "Bogies" coming across restricted air space. We averaged 96 logged in duty hours a week. I do know the US was kept in the dark about alot of the stuff that was happening because of "National Security". I got out in 93 after fighting a medical. I did my time and I get so tired of folks pushing it my face that I never fought in a "real" war. I'd like to see how they would handle not knowing who your enemy was or when or where the next bomb was going to go off. (the civilians that refuse to acknowlege us)
What about wondering if this next set of Bogies was it, the start of an atomic war. I saw a pregnant woman get stabbed in her belly because she was with an american. I saw alot more than that but would rather not go into it here. It is good however that something is starting up to recognize us. Or even to be able to talk about what happened over there. Humm.

Yes Colleen welcome and join in the fight to enlighten the masses.
In the near future a bill will be introduced in the Senate to authorize a Cold War Medal, once we have a bill number
we will be asking all members to contact both of their senators asking them to be a cosponsor, and to vote for passage when it reaches the senate floor.
