The Minuteman's have been around a really long time ... '50's ish
Tech School back in the day for them was a year long course at Chanute ...
Dreaded the thought of getting orders for Minot or Thule.
Luckily I was assigned to TAC [England AFB (Alexandria) Louisiana and then on to Nakhon Phanom Thailand.

Both 'warm weather' assignments...though I did spend the winter at Chanute.
Won't ever forget marching the cold and blustery flightline to school every morning bundled up with jacket, jacket liner, gloves, glove liners, X'tra socks and Thermals ... oh - and the Freddy Kruger Face Mask that kept freezing up from my breath and would stick to my lips and eyes.

All 3 of these bases no longer exist
