Happy Birthday! Just think, in another 172 years it will be as old as the Marine Corps -- Hoo Ra!

Yep. Created as part of the National Security Act of 1947. Incredible piece of legislation when viewed in light of today's congressional activities. The Act was created to rectify lessons learned from WWII. If interested, Google it and see what else was created (and two elements eliminated). Every element created is still with us today.

Had to update this post because I entered Hickam AFT, should have been AFB.

You were lucky. I was in Louisiana from August '65 through August '68. I was lucky to get that because when Lincoln AFB shut down, they were first going to send me to Val D' Or, Quebec. I got out to go to law school, but did not sign up for the active reserves or ANG because I did not want my education or early career interrupted by a call up.

My son and daughter-in-law each spent a career with the Air Force. 25 and 24 years respectively. I am proud of them both.
