RICK DU BOSE wrote on March 21, 2012 City and State: Unit: HQ AAVS Service or Relationship: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: I worked in the HQ AAVS Orderly Room from 1974 to 1977 upon return from U-Tapao RTNB Thailand. I was the one who assigned the troops to Staff Duty Officer Mondays through Sunday (they groused, but most could be depended on). I also ran the Awards and Decs Program for the Squadron. Lt Col McKeithan was the Squadron Section Commander and SMS Fred Quinby was the First Shirt. Enjoyed my time at AAVS especially when the cast of Star Trek (minus Shatner) came by for a visit. Also, the Area Two Chow Hall had the BEST food on base. Miss ole Norton and San Berdoo. I went into the CA ANG in 1981 and initially flew with the old 146th AES out of Van Nuys (now out of Channel Islands). Got a commission in the ANG and retired in 1993. Now reside in my hometown, Washington, DC. HQ AAVS was a great place to work! Keywords: HQ AAVS Orderly Room, LtCol Moses McKeithan, TSgt Robert Sebile, SSgt Jim Gorichar
