Mike Stebleton here. I served at 2861st in Olmstead PA from 1964 until the move to New York in 1966. I was mostly radio but also installed the first closed circuit TV at a radar site for USAF at a site in Saglek Labrador. Anyone on this thread from my time?
Also, would really like to find some sort of reproduction insignia from the unit.
Thanks, MS

Hi,

Tom Dromgoole here .I was stationed with the 2861st in Harrisburg, PA from 10-63 till 7-65. I thought the organization was moved to the 1st MOB in the Philippines around that time. From your website, it looks like it was moved to Griffis AFB for restructuring purposes.
I used to hang around with Bob Secules, Bill August ( Auggie),& Ed Scheuring. I was a Ground radio guy but spent trips on everything under the Sun including the Azores, Saglek, Mcguire Bomarc, Dover, Otis, Carthright, Goose Bay, Bowling to name some.

In 1965, I was sent to Korea. As stated above, I thought the organization went to the Phillippines.

PS Bob Dusenberry ! I do remember you. I think you were a cable splicer from NY or north Jersey.

I was with the 2875th in Japan, but worked at Western Electic after I got out with Tim Wazaluski and Jim DeGroot who were with GEEIA at Olmstead. They were antenna I think. They had to be there when you were. Jim passed away but as far as I know Tim is still well.
