Hey, airman!!! I was "permanent party" at Keesler* from 1966-1970.... Yup, joined the Air Force to see the world and spent all four years in Biloxi, Miss. Of course, it was just 94 miles from the main gate to corner of Canal and Bourbon....
*Keesler AFB, Technical Training Center of the United States Air Force. Was assigned to base PIO, which produced the Keesler News, the second-largest newspaper in Air Force (only Seventh AF was bigger).
I didn't stay there, or in the states, long... between BED and Electronic Warfare school it was about a year... then off the MacDill but was there only weeks till I was off to Vietnam... luxury vacation on the taxpayers $. I did have a tent though... many Army and Marines slept "under the stars"... which I only did a few nights.
