We had quite a turnout for the PUC Ceremony at Brag April 4, 2001. There were a lot more there than I expected. I was the only one wearing a CCC Recon Black-Hat!!

That's awesome. I was USAF for 3 years as a crew chief. (KC-135R Stratotanker) I actually remember meeting a man who did in fact fly the MC-130E Combat Talon during Vietnam. I really wish I could have sat down and spoken to him, but I felt that could have been disrespectful. Its nice to see these guys are getting recognized for what they deserve.
