City and State: ARDEN NC

Unit: 511 AC&W GROUP / 847 AC&W SQD

Service or Relationship: Air Force Veteran

Comments: I was assigned to Misawa AFB Sept 1951. First assigned
to 511 Group and then to 847 Sqd. Served as
Communications Supervisor (official AF MOS)
My CO's were Lt/Col Sutherland and then Mag.Frazier.

I was a Reservist called to active duty from NYC and
immediately assigned to Misawa. Releasted Oct 1952.
I had a Secret clearance as I handled secret documents.
I enjoyed my duty there but the winter Dec 1951
through March 1952 was brutal.....snow and more snow
and freezing cold winds at night.
I can say I survived Misawa .

Comments: I was communications Supervisor 29370 assigned
511th and transferred to 847th Sqd. At Misawa from Sept 1951 to October 1952.
In December 1951 went on 10 day TDY with Philco Co Tech Rep to Hokkaido to locate site for FM relay . It was a trip to Hell almost. The intense snow in the back country was sometimes overwhelming. Had our own weapons carrier which was almost lost twice on icy roads because of the Tech reps insistance on going on. Finally after a near mishap, life threatening, I insisted that we return to our starting point in Sapporo. Arrived back at Misawa 3 days before Chrismas '52.
Anybody out there remember me T/Sgt Goldstein.
I have a picture of the 847th softball team of 1952.
