C. Nied, A1C, 1989 - 1990
ahasoo@hotmail.com

Hello Everyone, and thank you for hosting this site.  I served at Clark from 1989 - 1990, and was in the 1363rd Audiovisual Squadron.  For those who served in the 1363rd, you're welcome to email me. The time I served there was a nasty timeline in the history of Clark A.F.B.  From the coup de' tat in Manila (which sent Aquino to Clark, and Dan Quayle's stupid timing that got 2 Ford Aerospace civilian contractor's assasinated by the NPA), to the 3 airmen assasinated by the NPA (I had JUST got off of front gate gaurd duty when that happened!), -to the massive 7.7 earthquake which hit the base like a nuke.  I recall getting knocked off my bunk, running for the doorjam, and then rescuing/dragging out fellow airmen from the barracks before more aftershocks arrived. I left the base just before Pinatubo (plus a typhoon) pounded the base.  I called the base after the volcano dumped unknown tons of wet ash on it.  A buddy of mine was not thrilled to be placed on shoveling duty!  I now work in disaster response, and served as a wildland firefighter for many years. CONUS.

Steven B. Simmons, Sgt, March 1970 - July 1971
Survival Equipment Specialist, 463rd FMS,
ssimmons51@earthlink.net

I am trying to find information on the 463rd concerning the Vietnam War and if the 463rd received any citations for its effort in that war.  On my DD214 it always stated I received the Vietnam Campaign Medal and Vietnam Service Medal.  Upon my retirement I was told I was not authorized to wear either ribbon.  I do realize the campaign medal was for those "in country".  But I do know the 463rd hauled a lot of "trash" in and out of South Vietnam.  Prior to my departure (PCS), I was involuntarily extended a month to July.  I was to rotate in June, but there was a push going on in South Vietnam and so they extended us.  It bugs me to know that I served during the Vietnam War and saw the young guys coming to Clark, knowing their next stop was Vietnam.  And the ones who came back to Clark via a Medivac aircraft.  We would go silent when the medivac buses would go by out of respect for these guys who had been to hell and survived. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kim Fletcher, 1984 - 1986
kimfletcher1@bellsouth.net

My name is Kim Fletcher and I was an A1C stationed at Clark AB from 1984-1986.  I was assigned to the Clark Regional Medical Center on 5 North the General Surgery Ward. I would like to send my warmest regards out to everyone who was ever stationed at Clark.  I would love to hear from anyone who even thinks they remember me. It would be great to have someone back me up when iIoccasionally blurt out a story about my time in the Philippines.  I don't think most of my friends believe that I am not embellishing my tales.  I guess if I didn't acutually live it I would doubt me too!  Anyway, hope to hear from someone soon.  My love to all !!!!!

Mike Pollot, 3rd SPS Nighthawks, 1985 - 1989
m_pollot@yahoo.com

I have been surfing the information highway as of late to find old friends.  This is a great site.  I found two friends on this site, so hopefully a few more will find me.  I served 3 1/2 years on "B" Flt Nighthawks mostly as a security controller, then moved to the 3rd SPG to be a Training Instructor.  I retired from the AF after 22 years and I am currently a defense contractor in Qatar.  If anyone knows how to reach Gil Cristobal or Mike Carney, please let me know.  Last I knew Gil was at Nellis AFB near the end of his career.  If anyone wants to drop me a line, please do.

Contact me or call me 610-741-9293. Name is Carl Ford and thanks for the oppurtunity to ask. I myself ended up at Loring AFB Maine for several years then on to Turkey and civilian time. Again, thanks for the time and letting me post this . Respectfully, Carl

jnrkenner@hotmail.com

I am trying buddies who worked at the old communication station --- James Pritchett, Jerry Lejoy, Neil, Young, Donald Paulk. The station was operated by the USAF right on CLARK AFB. We used to take the bus from the barracks and drive 3-4 miles best I can remember. The station had a 10 foot fence surronding with barbed wire stranded on top.

ENS John Fahsbender, DirSup, 7/84 - 12/85
jfahsbender@hotmail.com

Clark was my first tour in the navy.  Rode on a WestPac, some SCS ops, and a 6-month stint in the Persian Gulf with COMIDEASTFOR.  Sailed with the two CTR1 Allens, CTR1 Bob Stum, CTIC (later CTICS) Howie Spaulding, others whose names somehow escape me.  Served at Misawa (DIRSUP, OWO) in 86-87, at CNSG (G52) in 87-90, and finally at Ft Meade in 90-92.  After that, got out and went to law school, now in Cleveland at a firm.   All in all, a great group of folks at Clark.  Despite my extreme greenness and tendency to be a smart-ass, I was treated well by all (or at least as well as I deserved) and was fortunate to work with some of the best (and hardest playing) CTs in the navy.  If a reunion is in the works, I'd love to hear about it.

I miss all my old friends from both places and have been able to keep in touch with some. It was the best of times!!!

Roger Melin, A1C, 1971 - 1972 CBPO, 6200 ABWG and 405 CSGP
RMelin13@aol.com

I worked in the CBPO (personnel office) at in & out processing from June 1971 until the end of September 1972.  If you came in to Clark PCS, or if you left Clark PCS, during this time frame, then you likely saw me.  I remember Clark and environs as if it were yesterday.  Have many photos still, and have posted some in my Webshots album.  Visit webshots.com and member gallery, and do a search.  Would surely like to hear from anyone who was with the CBPO in the early 70's.  Especially Gary McCann, Rod Smith, Mike LoPresti, Jerry Sessions, Dennis Browning, L.T. (Bruce) Fogg, Charlie or Bernie Anzek, Nancy Saferite, and any others!  Cheers!  -- Roger Melin

rd1958@hotmail.com

I was the NCOIC of the Auto Hobby Shop my last two years. I will never forget my time at Clark and I have been married to my Filipina wife for 20 years. I wish Clark was still there because my oldest daughter is now in the Air Force and since she was born there she would love to go back.

Don Cover, 1987 - 1990
doncover1962@yadtel.net

This is Don Cover and I was at Clark AB from 1987-1990.  Just wanted to drop an update on my e-mail address – I have changed ISPs.  Clark AB has and will be a large part of my fondest memories of the Air Force.  I worked at the CRITICOMM facility supporting the 6922ESS as a member of the 1961st Communication-Computer Group.  I have seen some pictures of what Clark looks like now and it brings tears to my eyes, but when I think about the good times and the people I met, it puts life in perspective.  But then, maybe I just need another Red Horse!!!!  Have received emails from some that were at CRITICOMM and its great to hear from old friends.

CTRC(SW) Bruce Chandler DIRSUP 87 - 90
chandlerb@cox.net

Mates as some of you may know, the PI hounds up at Ft. Meade hold an annual Pinatubo Party.  It usually happens around June and the person usually running the show is CTRC(SW) Quinn Sharpe.  This year's was combined with a little celebration commemorating CTIC Ronnie Vesperas's retirement.  I wasn't able to make it, but I hear several people were there including CTR1 (ret) Ted Bryan, CTRC(SW) Pete Farrell, CTRC(SW) Jim Receveur, CTRC(SS) (ret) Greg Conley, and CTRC(SW) Lloyd Winchell among a few others.  Seemed a little reserved this year (meaning less people, not less excitement), but I'm sure another will be held next year and the size depends on the participants only.  See you there!

rggreen1934@charter.net

I was at Clark AB from August 1964 until September 1975, as the Chief Clerk in the 405th Supply Squadron.  The squadron increased in size during this period from approximately 275 men to over a thousand.  One of the Squadron Commanders name was Capt. Arthur Bellezon (sp) and the 1st Sgt was MSgt Howard Miller.  We went through a typhoon during this time which was terrible.  Would appreciate hearing from former members of the 405th Supply Squadron.
