I was stationed at Skivvy Nine from May '72 – June '73. Enjoyed my time there, except for my case of 'mono' which put me in the hospital for Thanksgiving of '72. I was with Dog Flight and a proud ditty bopper!! I checked out the map today and found the hill, but can't locate the old barracks or ready room – guess they're long gone now. And the 'hill' sure has 'grown' as well. But wasn't there a 'K' no. associated with that hill… I don't recall it being K-170. Later fellow cryppies!! Bill Nichols, Sgt. USAF, 1970-1979.

Msgt - Retired from USAFSS in 1985.rnI was a 202 arriving in Skivvy 9 in January 1977 for a one year tour. I made E-6 while there . . I worked in the aisle with headset walking back and forth between the X1 racks and calling in plots to the plotter up front. I had about 5 airmen working for me during that tour. It was a great mission and exciting on many occasions. We worked closely with the U-2 reps and had a tour of the aircraft one time and was allowed to sit in the cockpit. Amazing. My flight commander was Lt. Kevin Willey. I also worked with 203, Pete Siegle before he left to be commissioned. He was a great guy.. It was sad not having my family there but overall, mission wise, one of my best tours.
