    Definetly a BOQ/BEQ. Looks like Pensacola sorta. Those fire extinguishers I got in trouble over look familiar.

    Who? Dunno. I’ll guess Nose.

    Look at the surroundings: BOQ? Fhagedaboudit. Such spacious and capacious accommodations.

    Patrol Squadron all the way. As nice as the Air Force.

    He’s got the PO wings on the old bule ball cap (looks like a PO2). Got the poopy suit. Looks like air crew. Very sleep deprived or hung over.

    The one. The only. AW1 Tim. In Rota?

    Heh,

    My vote goes to “old_retired_chief” That there AW feller has the “look” of 70/80′s Naval Aircrew.

    Man, do I feel old…….

    Wow,

    Well…. I guess it’s that “takes one to know one” gene… heh.

    I remember when I used to have a waist like that as well. :)

    Busted, as it were. Thanks Lex and Tim! Yes, nobody would believe the ol’ AWC had an actual waistline at one time unless there were photographic proof. And SJBill should get a half point because while it is Navy VP barracks, it is at Kadena,AFB in Okinawa. Navy barracks on an Air Force base. As for specifics, this was about an hour before preflight/brief for a tactical mission during the mid-80s. And you think YOU feel old?
    Thanks again, Lex and ya’ll.

    What is it about sailors, that they don’t seem to be able to stand upright when it comes to photography, whether they are photographers or photographees?

    A naive person might think said sailors had had too much to drink, but that would be a wrong contrafactual idea, right?

    b2,

    In case he throws his image in the ring, the reason for Nose’s callsign is as plain as the– well, you know what to look for.

    ORC,

    Glad to see that unsuspecting post was held in place by you. Congratulations on retiring as AWC and practioner of the forgotten art of ASW.

    I preceded you as a CVS based AX with experience on the other coast or our and their continents.

    Are you and Tim listed on Devo’s Fleet AW Association pages? I don’t feel that old, but Devo lists me as a pioneer — there were many that preceded me.

    I was gonna say AW1 and now that I look at the ballcap I think I can see Crows! Photo was taken with the now extinct 110 I’ll bet. I think I see a per diem check sticken outta the leg pocket of his bag.

    Zane- Roger that on the Noseintell!

    SJBill,

    I’m up on the FAWA board. Call Sigh is “Difar Roach”. It’s a long story :)

    I feel honored to have come in when I did, as many of the first-generation AW’s were my instructors, and their experiences as former AX and AT types gave me a far better understanding and backgroiund than I would have gotten from just the A school and the RAG.

    That “extra” knowledge often came in handy on patrols when things went bad and the IFT didn’t have enough hands.

    Next year is the 40th anniversary of the founding of the AW rate, and there are some plans forming over on Devo’s site regarding celebrations, etc.

    Respects,
