Comments: I was stationed at Murphy Dome from Feb 73 to Feb 74. I worked in the
Power
plant and also worked in the fire station. The fire station went out to watch
helicopters as
they landed in case they had a problem. What a beautiful place. I remember how
cold it was.
Boilers going full just trying to keep up. Diesel Gens going on and off. Worked
7 days a week.
Some of the hunters would bring the bears up to the site and gut them there. At
night the
northern light were really a site to see. Hope to see it again some day. Air
Force trained me
in Power Plant work

Comments: Stationed at Shemya from August 65 to August 66.POL Section. During
mail call
at Amarillo AFB (tech school for POL) our OIC finally delivered my orders for
PCS. He asked me
had I ever heard of Shemya Alabama. Being born in Alabama and visiting over the
years I could
only come up with Selma, Alabama. Then the hardest words that an 18 year old
could hear was
"this isn't Alabama, there's an "R" behind the base. You're going REMOTE!!"
Arriving in
Elmendorf in August 65, we spent the first week moving furniture from the first
floor to the
third floor of some deserted barracks and then from the third down to the second
and first.
(Military management of idle troops). Upon departing EAFB we flew out on the
Alaskan Airline
"superconnie", and there was a fire (electrical) in the belly of the old bird. The
pilot came on
the speaker and said don't worry we're extinguishing it and proceeded on to
Shemya. I knew then
that the venture I was embarking on was going to be a lulu. When we arrived at
"The Rock" I
was assigned to the POL section there on the tarmac by the tower. My barracks
was one of the
quantsun huts (Perks' Palace") until they moved us into the 600 building around
November
65.The thing that sticks out in my memory of "The Rock" more than anything was
that the Reeves
Aleutian Airways plane couldn't get in due to weather around Christmas and a lot
of GI's
didn't get any presents until after the holiday. Chow hall prepared every wing a
cake. When we
woke up Christmas morning the snow had fallen and covered the island with about
a foot of snow
and the sun was shining bright. First time I'd ever seen so much snow. A Christmas
gift from
God.I had hoped when the glorious day came to go back stateside Alaskan Airlines
would have
got a jet to replace the ole superconnie. I had refueled it for a year each time
it came and
went and knew it was a sift. The day I left and they fired up the inside port
engine; it caught
on fire! Knew I wasn't going to get off The Rock! The pilot advised for us not to
worry....he
throttled up the engine and blew out the fire. Then the old tired bird took us to
Elmendorf. Grew up a lot at Shemya. Have been haunted by it all my life and it
seems to
mysteriously call to come back. May do that some day if I ever win the
lottery. Would love to
hear from any of my old buddies stationed there with me if you ever drop in on
Smitty's superb
web site.

Comments: Hi George,
Looks like I am going to be the first Dude to sign your guestbook - again!
Having a "Misc
Site" is a great idea. It's a place to put all of the "I'm not sure where this
goes" stuff.
From this "Misc" site other specific site could come from it. What a great
photo! I never
heard of Murphy Dome. Keep up the good work and congratulations on putting
together another
great site... Rene
