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!

Sorry, I left the Air Force and 1365th in April of 1965. I imagine most of the men I served with are long gone or retired as well. Some years ago, I did come across MSGT Mac. He was at Norton AFB, CA as civilian head of critique. Also, met up with a Puerto Rican we had in our Orlando lab. He was working for Newsfilm Labs in Hollywood...can't think of his name, now.
By the way, I am looking for a 1365th Photo Squadron patch. Would you have one to spare. My nephews obsconded with mine some years ago.

Many bypass specialists never enjoyed basic training,(How sad) military misfits who couldn't march or salute but were great photographers right out of industry and media jobs. Most hated the military mindset but loved the opportunities of their jobs in early experimental motion picture, aerial, still.

Comments: I entered active duty in 1972 with a film degree and they made me an Admin Officer, but since AAVS kept 'borrowing' me I was finally 'cross trained' to be a motion picture production officer. I served in Korat Thailand in 74-75, working with AFTN, then at HQ AAVS from 75 through 77 when I left active duty. I was a reservist with the 1352d at Norton, then activated for Desert Storm to be Ops Officer of the 1365th at Lackland. Then AFRES kept me on pretty much continuous active duty helping stand up their reserve COMCAM mission, while simultaneously I was IMA to the DO of 2CTCS (1352nd) until it shut down, then I was IMA to the CC of 1CTCS (1365th). I served in Bosnia in 96 as Joint COMCAM team chief, and retired in 98.

Comments: I was with AAVS as an Aerial Combat Photographer from May 1976 to March 1981. Loved every minute of it. Worked with Nick Alavarado, Jerry Hipley, Jimmy Box, Bill Randall, Chuck Nosely and Ralph Kelly. I remember Col. Ted Mace and Capt James Schafer. Did a few Air Force Now segments. Love to hear from anyone.

Comments: I was in HQ AAVS/DODC/Camera Division as a Camera Recording Specialist (AFSC 232x0) at Norton AFB from 75 - 76. I cross-trained into the HQ AAVS/CCQ as orderly room specialist. AAVS was under the command of Col. Ted Mace. HQ Squadron commanders I served under were LTC Moses McKeithan, Lt. J. Brickman, and 1LT James A Schafer.
During my time in the Orderly Room, there was a study by the Air Force as to whether AAVS should continue. I remember our numbers of military members kept reducing.
While at AAVS, our prop shop made for me wall plaques of the MAC shield and the AAVS Shield. Be interested in talking with others I was at Norton with during the time.
Take care All
