The Air Force changed to the SSN shortly after I started basic training in February 1968. We had a service number the day we started, but by the time we got to stenciling our number on our underware it was the first initial of the last name and the last four of your SSN. Since the first week was spent as a Rainbow Flight (remember that? ), it was in February. Ken |

I went in to the AF in Sept. 68, was assigned RAF #, Stenciled in shorts, then switched to ssn afterwards. I think some of shorts are still packed away with 3707 in the band. May be a little ripe by now! Also doubt that they would come close to fitting. as I recall the number was related year and to sequencing of classes 68 053 707. Dean B. |

That was wrong...that was when I got married. Anniversary the 25th! It was a year later, Feb '69 February that I started Basic Training, and switch was made to SSN. Ken |

Ken- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - That explains it then, that was a few months after I got out of the Air Force. I didn't know they had switched to the SSN and considering the considering the Governments distaste for using the SSN for anything beyond the Social Security Program, I am surprised. |

Badwater always seemed to think it was a joke. I took Zoom much more seriously than that. I still do. Every weekend I work behind the door that he put a clip full of 9mm through. Really? I missed this story. |

Badwater always seemed to think it was a joke. I took Zoom much more seriously than that. I still do. Every weekend I work behind the door that he put a clip full of 9mm through. Really? I missed this story. An old story. Something appeared on the internet that he didn't like. He wrote on the Internet that he was going to go to California to "take care if it - permanantly." The next week, in the middle of the night, someone fired 8 rounds of 9mm through the door of my shop. He then wrote that he'd gone to California and the address was a Mexican bar. In fact, my shop is next door to a Mexican bar (which is why the rent is cheap, the music comes through the walls.) So I take him seriously. WOW I never heard about that one must have been before my time on RAH. Did the cops ever investigate? Chuck S |
