On 01OCT1964, the 7322 Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron (7322 CAMS) was activated.  7322nd CAMS was derived from all of the aircraft maintenance functions formerly assigned to the 7322nd Material Squadron. We moved from one of the old, three story barracks near the Enlisted Dining facility, to Barracks #107,  near the Base Gym and to the rear of the Airman's Club.  [info from Tom Fischer]

07/23/2003  Thanks for sharing the photos and vets comments ... brought back fond memories.  I worked in the Jet Engine Shop 1963-65. Recall many good people from that group - dedicated; professional. Good times and camaraderie at local haunts (Jimmy's Bar, Crossroads, Frogpond, et al) and the Airman's Club. Anyone from that era remember club regulars, e.g., "Spud", jovial farmer from the deep South who would always yell "Suuuuuie" after a little too much to drink ... "Fat Frank", from Base Flight, whose cheerfulness and generosity was as big as he was ... "Big Jake" (MATS Cargo Traffic Mgmt) and "Little Jake" (Base Pest Control Exterminator), both great companions ... Would enjoy hearing from former colleagues.

10/07/2002  Comments:  Easily the most memorable 3 years of my life. The Red Cross center downtown & square dancing. Joe From Maine, The Chicken Coop, & Belle Isle, The Frog Pond. Lake Chambon. I was an A/2C & an aircraft mechanic on the C-118 Flying command posts, called Operation Silk Purse. We kept a command post in the air 24 hrs. a day. I had a baby blue 1962 Ford Falcon & a 61 Triumph T-110 motorcycle. I remember names of a few guys I knew, et al, Smoot, Fuzz Smith, Tommy "T" Byrd, Skip Conception, Carolton R. Thomas lll, Douglas W. Dean, M/sgt Lewis, T/sgt Wolf, Pugliese, M/Ssgt's Shoults & Colgrove (Pappy) Billy C. Austin (Lil Will) ? Paz, George Nash, S/sgt. Darrows, Randall E. Shephard, T/sgt Wayne Viets , his wife & daughter, Joyce & Yvette, & Romereo Riverez.  If you knew me or any of the people who were stationed there from Dec 1961-Dec.1964 Please get in contact with me so we can talk over old days. I musn't forget M/sgt. E.E. Holt & Terrisa & their 7 kids & Maj. William E Sullivan, & his wife Jeannie & their kids, Clark V., Mark, Billy, Cecilia, & Mary, & Charles Wayne Sullivan. This is a long shot I know but as the old saying goes, "Nothing ventured, Nothing Gained".  Someone,- Somewhere.
