Comments: Was a ditty bopper. Met some great guys and had some good times. Lots of trips to Mangla Dam and stayed with a great family. One of the guys married one of the daughter in this family. Don't remember his name. Memory not the greatest: Rod from Hawaii was a roommate. also Jerry from New York, the Golden Gloves champ. Leclair? Great trips to play golf at the Peshawar G.C. Will check back as memory improves. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't get to go, because my date to return to the the States was moved up a couple weeks. I'll never forget that morning when I was awakened just after going to bed after the midnight shift. I was told I had one hour to get packed and ready to leave. They flew a dozen or so of us out on a c-130 to Karachi, and headed home from there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I may have also been one of the only two or three Jewish EMs ever to serve at the site. Although I made it through the entire 15-month without any major incidents, I did get into my share of trouble mainly by drinking a little too much (didn't we all), venturing out to places that were off-limits (not much exciting to do), playing practical jokes on the local Pakistani employees (we were all young and dumb), and getting into hot water with the lifers who hated us 2-T'ers. I currently live in Baltimore (410-484-1474) and am working as a contractor for SAIC after a 36 year career at NSA that I was able to land in 1967 as a result of my work at Peshawar. I have a wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters, and two georgeous and very smart granddaughters for which I am enternally grateful. We also are trying to pay down our house in Sarasota that I hope to retire to before my wife and daughters ship me off to the nursing home. Thanks for serving with me fellows.

Barkell Email: barkell@erols.com Arlington, Virginia 1966-1967 Able 292x1 Comments: The standard take on Peshawar was: "Karachi is the asshole of the world and Peshawar is a thousand miles up it." Nevertheless, I very much liked my assignment to PAS. There was a lot of history there, particularly if one was interested in British Imperial history. A lot of action occurred around Peshawar and the Khyber Pass.
My personal memories are of cookouts by the barracks with Gary Rutledge, Joe Bodziony, Joe Ritacco, Rick Blessing and others; Joe Bodziony and I going horseback riding one day and being hit by stones thrown by villagers as we passed through; Drinking London Lager beer at the bar of Dean's Hotel; going to the Salateen Club; playing squash and handball on the squash court on base; and a great fishing trip, catching brown trout, in Swat.
Who would have guessed at the time that Pakistan would take center stage in world events, as it has now?
I would like to make it to a reunion before too many moons pass.

Excellent job on your website and keeping the memories of your contribution to your country alive. Hand salute to all those that served in remote locations!! I am not used to looking at aerial photos of a base/station that has less than a 2 mile runway:)

Just reading the many inputs from past BAS members brings back a flood gate of memories. I arrived there with Bob Hardwick,Phil Jacobson,and Bob Pranski on April Fools Day 1966 and the Squadron Commander picked us up and took us to a shack made out of mud just before the turn to the base and said "OK boys this is your barracks." Needless to say we were all dumb struck. After the April Fools joke he took us to the base and I had a truly great time from that time forth. Was housed in one of the new barracks with Gulab and Golfam as our houseboys.
I played a lot of tennis (in 110 degree heat) with Mr. Khan (the Pakistani Davis Cup player) and my doubles partner Bob Kilgore. We ended up being the base chanpions and got to tour Lahore, SWAT,and the old British Officers Club there in downtown Peshawar. I'll never forget Bob and I being invited guests of Mr. Kahn when the Soviet team came to play the Pakistani team. Bob and I were seated on the front row and I know we drove the KGB agents crazy because I'm sure they didn't have any pictures of us and were trying to figure out who the heck we were.
Also was lucky enough to be at Mangla Dam on the morning that the water first --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was 14 years old when I left Pakistan, but have great memories of days by the pool on the Base. I would take the bus from Shahine Jalla(not sure about the spelling) to the Base.

He was one of the funniest people I've known. That 15 month tour seemed like 15 years, although it was a fantastic experience. Wish I would have been sober more often. I remember of a lot of faces but names are much harder to come by. I saw "Hog" Skinner on the list and Doug Limerick. Doug reported news on the radio until recently, on ABC. Must have retired.

I actually enjoyed my time at PAS and extended a bit to get home at Xmas time. Never regretted making the choice to go to PAS. Made numerous trips to Khyber and a few to Murree to stay at the Potts' hotel. Bought the requisite number of Wolf Axes and various brass items in the "new" city, frequently ventured into the "old" city to see what was there. I hope to hear from some of the guys that shared the time on Charlie with me. Same goes for anyone at the 6989th in Misawa - I was there Jan 62 - Jan 65. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoyed palying Flag Football and Fast Pitch Softball. One time we played some workers up at Mangla Dam and we faced this pitcher who was really good! Had a blazing fast ball, but I was able to hit a couple of home runs, over the fence, off him. We all had a fun time. I remember one of the guys on the team, I think his last name was Caroli. I can still picture some of the other guys on the team, but I am ashamed to say that I have forgotten their names. One of the guys in my barracks....Steve Hampton, I can remember his name. We both had been stationed in Darmstadt, Germany. I sure would like to hear from anyone that know me. I am glad I found this site.

Comments: My father, John H. Werts, served in Peshawar in the mid 1960's. He met and married my mother, Margaret Erickson Werts in Peshawar in 1965. She had taught at US Military bases overseas for many years. I'm interested in writing a book based on their lives.

I loved it and got to where I could copy a lot of characters behind and used to love to practice on Chinese press. Hey, remember the Chinese transceivers? How they use to start up? And Slip Sticks. I remember them. And I remember gettin' put on the wall with a rifle and a that first red bullet when the Cuban Crises came down.
I was a drunk, trouble maker, had a bar made in town, our bearer brought it in, and it was always stocked. My room was the local salloon, but I sure was was a hard bangin' ditty bopper at work...I remember RZN's and lost B47's upt there flying along the corrider intercepting telemetry that never came back. The only thing that kept me from getting court marshaled was that I was good copier. I remember that perpetual cigar hanging out of my mouth cause both hands were flying between the R390 and SP600 dials and that typewriter, keeping up with all that upper air weather being sent from outstations to their control.

Time PAS was good for me, I was taught some basic photography by a couple of great guys and got hooked on it as a great hobby. As an Army Brat I was used to moving around so I probably didn't get the culture shock many of you did. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember this? You're on a beautiful tour somewhere, i.e. Germany, Japan, Scotland, etc. or in my case, RAF Chicksands, England. You're scheduled for 36 mos. which probably means an early out from the Air Force, since you'll have 90 days left on your original 48 mos. But NO, they come up with this 2-T program. It's bad enough they're gonna send you REMOTE for 15 mos. somewhere, thereby using up that last 90 days you were going to get out early. But wait, there's more! What's that, they just changed the 2-T program eliminating the E-5 Staff Sergeant stripes? So now you only make A1C? Hells bells, you had A1C made in the shade where you where! Then you get this letter from some poor slob who's already at Peshawar telling you what a wonderful place it is, what a great bunch of guys are there and when you get there be sure to look him up if he can be of any help? He says they have basketball, a new movie theatre, swimming pool, new air-conditioned dorms (he shoulda spent a Summer on the 2nd floor of A Dorm without it as I did #*&$%#@!)and so much more! Meanwhile he says to enjoy your 30day leave in the ZI. Ok, you get to Peshawar AS and you actually look the guy up after being there about a week. He’s on another shift entirely – another life entirely at PAS! But he barely remembers writing the letter? (Probably wrote it about 4am on a MID to keep from going asleep after his Supervisor ordered him to write it!) Hell, he’s going home in 30 days and you have 456 AAWU! But all in all, you make it through to the other side, you survive and you realize it WAS a special time and a special place. And if you’re lucky you make two of the best lifelong friends from your two roommates, Richard Lemerise and John Rader, that you could ever hope to have. And if you learn anything about life, it may be that you now know why you never want to spend any time in a jail because, fond as the memories are after all these crazy years, a jail sentence is often what 15 mos. at Peshawar AS felt like! After all, this was the place that had only four brands of beer – Bud, Miller Hi, Black Label and Schlitz – which all tasted exactly the same after spending time in the hot sun sitting on an open boxcar between Karachi and Peshawar!

My thanks to the guys who have maintained the web page and this Guestbook!
Some names looking for? Charlie Clegg,Ohio; Gerald McKenny,Kentucky; Bob Cockerham,Tennessee; Greg Pranski,Chicago; John McCarthy,Massachusetts.
I played on Dog basketball team, which won the base championship 1967 with John Rader and Richard Lemerise. I am in contact with them Charlie Schriver and Bob Busch, all from Dog Flight.
Observation - at that age the 15mos seemed like a jail sentence extending through eternity? Now, 15mos passes by too fast to even grab ahold of!
Keep up the good work here guys! |
