| Dad, Chet Jenkins, was on Amchitka in 1943 with 177th Engineers Construction Battalion. Had to be one of the first ones there in order to build the barracks and other buidlings for those that followed. Would love to hear from anyone there at that time or who might have met or known dad. |

| I was on Amchitka as a PMC employee, '87 or '88 if I remember right. I did water & wastewater treatment, trash hauling, and light maintenance. Would love to hear from others who were there! http://www.facebook.com/lockwoodbryan |

| Was stationed on the island from Feb. 1947 to feb 1948. Was asigned to the power generating plant as operator and repairman. Lived in a hut we put together near the main hangar. Lt. Lyle Procnow was the engineering officer. Bill Rhode and I have since contacted each other and if any others who worked in the powerhouse is still around would like to hear from them. |

I was on Amchitka in 1965 for Operation Long Shot. I was part of a small group of GI's that was responsible for placing air samplers and other radiation monitoring instruments around the test area. We also guarded the nuclear device at night.
I remember the food was great. I think I gained 20 pounds in 30 days.
Emails welcome. |

| My father, Paul Guggenheim, was stationed on Amchitka during WW2. He died at the age of 93 in 2007. He had a container of artifacts he took from there that were recently returned to the University of Alaska. I think he helped map the island's archiologic sites. |

| I arrived on Amchitka Oct 1946 and departed May 1947. Was 1 of 2 crypto techs in the 120th AACS Detachment, Lt. Ross Livermore the OIC. Our quonset huts near the main hangar were often visited by rats which we chased away with fire extinguishers. Have vivid memories of the winds, 1 night a steady 90 mph with gusts to 135. 2 or more C-47s blown off runway into the tundra. Fog often so thick that Tower would call down to we in hangar to confirm plane ok on ground. One mild earthquake while there. |
