You were stationed at Minot? That explains a lot.

When I was in the AF ['69 to '73], Minot was where our "senior servicemen" threatened to send Airmen who goofed up. There and Loring AFB in Maine, which I believe is now closed.

I guess that was the closest they could come to the Russian equivalent of Siberia.

There are worse places in the world than Minot, ND. Can't think of any right now but I know they're out there.

There's a reason we call it "Mindrot". Maybe one of the reasons I don't really care for Minot is because of all the chAir Force personnel (I'm prior Navy).

What is "prior Navy"? Is that before they learned how to build ships?

We have a Prior Lake around here, but I didn't know they had a navy.

I still have my dad's old indicator. That thing is probably 25+ years old...

I still have the metal Rawlings indicator that I purchased in 1964 for 49 cents. (Remember, in 1964 you could by a new Chevy for $2,000 (or a Porsche for $5,500), and a guy making $10,000 a year had money to burn.

On my indicator is engraved the phrase "Made in U.S.A."

I forgot where I was posting. Maybe I should have said US Navy Veteran or former sailor.
