The National Anthem was sounded, an invocation was given and distinguished guests were identified and the award nominees were announced. A short presentation was made by Mr. He accepted the award from Colonel Hartman and Chief Joseph, he offered a sharp salute and returned to the Alumni table with a huge smile on his face.
Well done Pete!!!! It was a reliving of an old tradition and elicited pride from all who attended. Website Committee Note: Mark Smith sent this to us a while back. Thanks for this input and your effort Mark. Jim Kelly. I used red oak for the main part of the building, sapele looks like mahogany for the stairs and concrete planters to the sides of the stairs, and black walnut for the windows and trim.
I finished the display with a natural stain to bring out the grain of the wood, and sprayed 4 coats of lacquer. It took between 40 to 50 hours to create the display. I found the dragons at the flea market west of Melbourne and I and had a friend airbrush them. The base of the display is made from red oak. HE walked the walk and talked the talk, and brought a program that was given little more than lip-service to life, and even gained Air Force-level recognition.
There is something nostalgic about that old Tech Lab to me…as a kid arriving here in , riding by the building every day of my childhood knowing my dad worked there, and it was just so big!!! Thank you for your interest. I have considered trying to recreate the entire complex, rocket garden and all, but that could take several hundreds of hours.
I would have to research to find out what rockets were on display. Mark Smith. December 1st in the North means football, snow and below zero temperatures, but at the Viera Regional Sports Complex and to AFTAC active duty, civilians, contractors and alumni the temps are 80F, beer and softball tournaments.
Friday began at with spirited play and challenge rounds. Alumni hosted and managed 4 kegs of beer and a tasty cider to help cool down the players. The tournament was superbly honchoed by Kathie Querry who made sure rigid compliance with rules complimented the fun atmosphere. The final game between Mission Support and the Directorate of Operations was hard fought, but in an exciting and razor-close finish, MS triumphed 8 runs to 7. Prior to the big game, a home run derby was held for a field of nearly Highlights of the day were, for the first time in a long time, a lack of major injuries, some terrific cornhole mini-tourneys, long chow lines, but satisfyingly more than enough food and drink for all to savor till the very end.
Later, he and Command Chief Joseph presented the latrine-themed awards. My observation is that deadly cigarettes have been replaced with much more healthy cellphones.
Soft drinks have taken a backseat to bottled water. After the presentation Bryce was joined at the stage by five former Alumni of the Year as shown in the below photos. This reunion had a total of people in attendance and you missed a really good time if you were not one of them. Now we anxiously await for the next reunion in Florida. The Florida Alumni Reunion will be held some time in early Watch the Alumni website for notifications.
As many of you might know, those of you that have the Tricare Delta Dental coverage, it will terminate on December 31st of this year. We have provided our website readers with four notifications and this will be the final one. A couple things I will note. Be sure to read about how some of the plans that are offered, will require that you be enrolled for up to a year before certain procedures will be covered, even if you presently have a plan with them.
Also, you might want to check with your dentist office to make sure they are enrolled in the plan you might select. Here are telephone numbers that might also provide assistance: FEDS , TTY number to enroll or change your enrollment. Watch the Hot Topics and the Calendar of Events for updates. Over the past two years, AFTAC has done a tremendous job maintaining mission focus and supporting the fight around the globe. National Agencies, Combatant Commands, and Staffs constantly rely on our hard work and expertise to enforce our national deterrence strategy and shape our national policies.
As Commander, I have reiterated many times that AFTAC's actions are constantly being noticed by those outside this building - today is no different. We were 1 of 10 organizations within Air Combat Command chosen to receive this honor, and it is no doubt due solely to our professional workforce's commitment to the mission and dedication in service to our Nation. The location of the Dining Out seemed slightly strange — in an airplane hangar at the Warbirds Aviation Museum in Titusville, FL — but this proved to be an ideal location, with a static display of airplanes related to the AFTAC mission.
When you work for AFTAC, you expect things to be planned and carried out with the utmost efficiency, but it seemed like this might not be the case with the Dining Out, through no fault of the organizers. Originally scheduled to be held in September, Hurricane Irma left many Brevard County FL residents without power for several days to more than a week, resulting in the delay of the activities until the third week of October.
The Honorable James R. Mike Young, stepped in and gave a briefing about the year history. With all the setbacks, and the need to plan the Dining Out twice because of Hurricane Irma, the venue was appropriate, the evening was entertaining, the food was wonderful, and the speaker was knowledgeable and interesting.
Kudos go to the 70th Anniversary committee. Many members were required to visit the Grog Bowl to atone for infractions of the rules, including the Commander, Col Steven Gorski and his wife, Trisha. The Grog bowl is filled with a variety of libations that one would not normally mix together and drink.
Fortunately, there were several designated drivers, in case someone made too many trips to the Grog Bowl. It was a wonderful evening of military regimen mixed with laughter and an opportunity to get to know some of the active-duty members. It is NOT provided on this website for use as a planning tool.

Please contact Bob at rwiley1 cfl. It stood for nearly 70 years before being demolished in Lucky for us we kept some momentos. These metal letters braved many storms and tribulations and are now available to purchase. Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to benefit the AFTAC airmen and their families serving today. I had just been certified to operate solo as a Special Equipment Operator.
The SEO would be the eleventh man on the crew. We had no crew position available, so we sat on the floor in the rear compartment with our back against the bomb bay bulkhead between the two scanners. After takeoff, the SEO would take over the right scanner position where our equipment had been pre-positioned and tied down.
Looking back upon it, we were the only thing not tied down. All human excretions went into that bucket. You can imagine, though you may not want to, just how bad that thing was smelling after we all had been drinking coffee for awhile in briefings and preflight duties without being able to avail ourselves of the scant facilities in the hangar. The beloved honey bucket was used soon and often.
More later about that! It is not germane to this story. Directly behind that was the place where we put the box containing all of our lunchestwo per crewmember.
Twenty two box lunches. We had no heated lunches back in those days. We were startled out of our slumber with the shrill ring of our telephone. We will keep your wife informed on your progress. Others are going with you.
It varied with each occasion, so we always had a bag packed ready to go. So started my first TDY. We always had a First Class Ticket in our pocket because there was almost always room back there, even if the rest of the plane was sold out. The Pan American Clipper had a great lounge down a circular stairway where, if we were first to get there, we could stretch out on the sofas. There was no bar service at AM. We always just had to get to our destination ASAP. Positioning was of prime importance.
We had to hit the ground running and be airborne in a WB within 12 hours. Most times one of us would be airborne within three hours of our arrival at Eielson AFB, AK, if we had a good idea of where we needed to be. We flew as needed. We learned real fast, that this was the routine method of initiating a TDY for anyone in the Cloud Chasing Business or: our type of business. Obviously, neither had any crew rest.
They both were burned out by the time the operation concluded. That was the beginning of six great years with the th SWS and flying as an enlisted Aircrew Member.
It was minimal compensation for being separated from wife and baby girl for sudden, and frequent separations from the family. It was especially hard on my wife who did not know what we were doing let alone where we were going or why. That was an unusual crewmember designation. He stayed suspicious until we found what we were looking for. Then, I think, he understood. It was a little scary the first few times, but they had been briefed and I only had one flight when the Aircraft Commander did not follow my instructions and what flight profile I wanted.
I went to sleep which was understandable In addition, RB pre-flight took about 3 hours, so I had been at or in the plane for over 27 hours already.
The Aircraft Commander decided to make a long shallow approach to Travis so we lost about 3 hours off of the high altitude profile I had requested. Upon landing, I gave a long sigh of relief, knowing crew rest and a loving wife was awaiting me at McClellan. Instead, Immediately after engine shutdown, I had a big surprise awaiting my arrival. As I disembarked, I was surprised, shaken and not a little frightened to see our Field Office Commander, Col Griffin, waiting for me along with his secretary.
Under the wing of the giant ten engine RB, at an improvised desk and chair, the secretary typed as I explained what happened. Two days later, the Aircraft Commander was a Co-Pilot.
It was amazing how much clout a little airman had in this organization. Of course, this was when the Squadron had a two star General for a commander and we had the number one priority in the Air Force. Though we had nothing to show for our long flight but flight time logged, it was still a successful mission. Just like hunting or fishing, there would be better results on the next time out!
For your early dining pleasure, lunch, may be ordered, at Alumni, active duty, family members, and friends are most welcome to attend. Peoria St. Children are half-price. We hope to see you there! I have to admit, I used to think they were synonymous and never gave much thought to the idea that not only are they two separate and distinct words, they are also two separate and distinct concepts.
Let me explain. The textbook definition of the word history is: the study of past events, particularly in human affairs. Different words with different meanings, but inextricably intertwined. Heritage, on the other hand, has a bit of emotion tied to it. Through your tireless efforts, the Alumni Association has gone to great lengths to preserve our past and keep our customs and traditions alive. I want to continue to foster this relationship between the AFTAC Alumni and our current active military and civilian workforce.
History is our past; heritage is a reminder of our past. Or as I like to say, history makes us smarter; heritage makes us prouder. Our commander, Col. Attendees enjoyed a festive evening renewing old friendships and sharing memories.
Key Lime Pie topped off the dinner. High lighting the evening was a presentation by DR. Mike provided models of the current ships, and answered questions for those who gathered around the displays. Our thanks to you, Mike! Butch was announced at the worldwide reunion in Sacramento held in June This was our official announcement to finally welcome him in to the honored ranks.
Gene was gratified that there was so much interest in his photos, posterboard and experiences. Michelle Ryan and Judy Henderson added centerpieces adorned with nautical figures that were a complement to the ship displays. A hearty thank you, ladies!
Our thanks to Sean Ryan for his planning and great efforts in making this all happen. Also, thanks to all those that volunteered to help with the various tasks needed to provide such a great evening. It is a grand way to introduce the newly elected and appointed board members, recognize Alumni and Alumni accomplishments, hold a festive and social get-together followed by a sit-down dinner and wish old friends and Alumni a great start, to a new year.
We also pay special tribute to the spouses and significant others in support of Alumni members at the Snowball. The nights festivities kicked off with a Social Hour where guests enjoyed reminiscing about AFTAC and catching up and socializing with old friendships and sharing memories of their time in the unit, around-the-world, or in the headquarters building at Patrick AFB thru the years. The bartender "Ryan", once again, was truly superb in serving great cocktails and beverages throughout the evening.
Memories of some good times for the year were shown with photos taken by Bob Wiley and Judy Milam-Henderson, among others that contributed. Of special note, Dr. Thank you kindly Dr. Young -- Well done and greatly appreciated! Butch's name was initially announced at the June Worldwide Reunion in Sacramento. Judy Milam-Henderson and Michelle Ryan made centerpieces decorated with nautical figures and "sea like" items, that were an awesome compliment to the ship displays.
Thank you Judy and Michelle…It added so much color and "theme diversity" to the guest tables. A special thanks to all Team AFTAC Alumni Members and Spouses that volunteered to help with the various tasks and support required to provide for an awesome evening for all in attendance, once again.
It is the sole organization in the federal government whose mission is to detect and report technical data from foreign nuclear explosions. Consisting of more than 3, sensors worldwide, AFTAC operates and maintains a global network of nuclear event detection equipment called the U.
Air Force. Once a disturbance is detected underground, underwater, in the atmosphere or in space, the event is analyzed for nuclear identification, and the findings are reported to national command authorities. The treaty limits the size of underground nuclear tests to kilotons, while the treaty prohibits the testing of nuclear devices outside of agreed treaty sites. AFTAC is on the leading edge of technological research and the evaluation of verification technologies for current and future treaties involving weapons of mass destruction which threaten our national security.
In addition, AFTAC manages 11 world-class laboratories to assist the International Atomic Energy Agency with the promotion of safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technologies. In , AFTAC became a wing-level organization within the Air Force, paving the way for partial unitization with the establishment of squadrons.
Since becoming a wing equivalent, AFTAC activated five newly-designated squadrons in October to better align with the wing structure. Dwight D.
Eisenhower recognized the need to monitor nuclear programs. Over the years, the Air Force tasked the nuclear treaty monitoring center to conduct short-notice collection operations. More recently, the center supported Operation Tomodachi, the U. AFTAC personnel flew nine nuclear debris collection sorties, processing seismic events, and analyzed samples from the affected Pacific peninsula.
This endeavor safely and successfully removed nuclear radiation from the environment and eliminated a potential source of material for use by terrorists in improvised radiological explosive devices or dirty bombs.
This program is designed to collect forensic analysis after detonations to aid the Federal Bureau of Investigation in attributing attacks on U. Oddly, the building is still there and is now occupied by a political consulting firm. Hope our history is not forgotten. VSC was the original home of Dr. Frank Pilotte who became better known after he moved to Florida. It is also where Ralph Alewine started as a 2nd Lt. He later went on to major positions in DoD in test ban treaty matters. It also developed, along with its onsite contractors, algorithms for digital signal processing of seismic data for underground nuclear test detection purposes.

Though largely unheralded, these talented members have possessed special skill sets and an unselfish dedication to the mission that have collectively established an exemplary legacy for more than half a century. The nomination packets typically range from two to five pages in length. Packets must contain a photograph past or present. Nominations are largely biographical in content with special emphasis placed on specific deeds that merit nomination. Mike Young, is the caretaker of all nomination packets.

I was blessed to work for the organization for most of my career and I remember becoming a lifetime member back in , while stationed at Det in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Secondly, I have had the blessing to be able to work with many of you while I was on active duty. It was your dedication to the mission and afterwards your serving with the AFTACAA while I was still in uniform, that made me appreciate what a fine group of people you all are and that by some coincidence, I became associated with.
Once I retired and I decided to become more involved, I got to meet many more of you on a different level. That always made me smile and feel happy to see all of your efforts and dedication recognized in that fashion. Finally, I do not take this recognition lightly. I know there are many out there that continue to do their best to support and better the AFTACAA, whether it be on the West Coast, In Colorado, or their own little niche of paradise that they decided to settle.
I know that there are others more worthy of being selected as an AOY, so that means so much more that I would be the one chosen.
To be the honoree is very ironic. What I was hoping for in was my life to stabilize and get back to some kind of normal. I know it has been tough for many of you. The ability to come together as friends and family has been altered for almost a year now.
Being the AOY is the one good thing that I hope can put a positive closure to the year I never want to relive. There is a limited capacity, due to social distancing. Afterwards, if you just happen to be in the area, I will be buying beverages at the Patrick Marina at Stop buy if you can.
Very Respectfully, Ed Lindsay. The selectee will still be recognized in Florida at the annual Alumni Snow Ball. Our selectee has been a dues paying member of the Colorado alumni association since December when he was still on active duty and he is a lifetime member of the AFTAC Alumni Association in Florida. During his 27 years of membership our selectee has been consistently active in many ways which have greatly contributed to building the association and keeping it going for the benefit of the members.
In the early years he was involved with making arrangements to have association dinner socials with the Camana Club on then Buckley Air National Guard Base, and also setting up annual association picnics on the base. Not only setting up picnics but also being the lead cook and even providing the grill for the cooking, and then leading with the cleanup afterwards. This has continued for many years and he still does it today at the new much improved picnic site he discovered and arranged for our use in Castle Rock.
Also in the early years of his membership he volunteered to prepare and distribute our association Echoes newsletter several times per year. This was no easy task at that time without the computer hardware and software that we use today.
After receiving inputs he had to edit and format them and then they had to be typed, copied, individually assembled, stapled, folded, supplied with individual mailing labels, and delivered to the post office. His efforts to provide the newsletters no doubt greatly contributed to the building of our Colorado association resulting in where we are today some six Colorado reunions later.
Regarding reunions, our selectee has been there too always volunteering his assistance when and where needed. And, he is now also working as our Echoes newsletter editor again due to the unexpected retirement of our most recent long-time editor.
After many years of valued service to our association, our Alumni of the Year selectee accepted a challenge at our semiannual breakfast meeting in February By unanimous vote Wallace Bryce Dunn was elected to be the new President of our Colorado AFTAC Alumni Association and after serving two very successful years leading our organization, he again accepted the challenge and continued serving as president where he has been a driving force getting this reunion organized and keeping things on track while arranging activities and obtaining inside and outside support including the guest of honor speakers, and our emcee for this event.
I was sworn into the Air Force at the induction center on Whitehall Street in lower Manhattan on December 6th , my 20th birthday. I was then sent to Lackland Air Force Base for my basic training. While there, I was told to report to this Major, I forgot his name, and he asked me if I would be willing to go to school for this secret outfit.
He could not even tell me what they did. Being totally intrigued with the idea I agreed. I spent a year in the th Technical Operations at McClellan, in the Electronic Maintenance Department and we were tasked in fixing any piece of electronic equipment that was not functioning. The job that I was primarily responsible for was repairing and calibrating the many oscilloscopes that we had. It was very demanding and at the same time a satisfying job. It was the first real technical job that I had ever held.
I saw that there was an opening in Det and I applied for the position. Surprisingly I got it and packed my bags and away I went. While at I again worked In Electronic Maintenance. I was working under a great boss, Walt Allen. He was an inspiration to me and taught me a lot about my job and just life in general.
He meant a lot to me. As my term of enlistment was ending, I was informed that my name was on the promotion list. If I reenlisted, I would be made a Staff Sergeant. I was given the option to extend my current enlistment until the promotion became effective, at this time I would reenlist and get a very handsome reenlistment bonus. I knew everything at that time, At least I thought I did, and I turned it all down.
This I now believe was the biggest mistake in my life. I enjoyed my time with, what is now called AFTAC, and was very lucky to be honored to be a small part of it. After all these years I am still a part of it again.
It was an extreme honor and surprise to be chosen as Alumni of the Year. To be honored by a bunch of individuals that I hold in such high esteem is one of my most cherished moments and it will be with me the rest of my life. I officially joined the Alumni Association in For the past 15 years, I've supported the association in various ways -- attending meetings, holding Vice President position for a year, helping to set up Snowball dinners, coordinating efforts between the Alumni, the Booster Club and the Spouses Group, etc.
