Since launching the TUSLOG Detachment 150 pages here on Bluejeans' Place, I've received more than a few notes from folks who were assigned there before or after my 1981-1982 tour.  We recently learned our Det 150 pages are about the only historical record of the Detachment.  As a public service, I am posting photos and information provided by various Det 150 alumni to expand the Detachment's historical record.

Then-Airman David R. "Russ" Koch, an electronics maintenance and repair technician on tropospheric communications equipment, (Air Force Specialty Code 30450), dropped me this note on October 31, 2002:

Pat,
Good going!  I was Airman Koch (30450) Electronics Maintenance and Repair (Tropo).  Spent a year in Turkey at Det 150 in 1968, early 69.  Lots of blurry memories now.  WHAT A YEAR!  Some good some bad, of course.  I was a mighty lonely guy, but Bursa, Iznik, the Mamara and Uludag were great destinations  I wonder if you get any contacts from people that were there with me.  Pittman, Lampe, Zambrana, Dorn, 38 of us in all, rotating in and out.  Impossible to get hold of these guys unless they contact you!

Russ filled in some holes in our knowledge on Det 150's history and provided some pictures.  Please click on Russ's Det 150 alumnus page to see some interesting photos and text.

A. J. Aldrich, who was stationed at Det 150 in 1979 and 1980 sent a wealth of information.  Please click on AJ's Det 150 alumnus page for details.

Joe Chiro, who was stationed at Det 150 from December 1966 to December 1967 sent some photos which show the site when some of the mobile radio antennas were still in place.  Please click on Joe's Det 150 alumnus page for details.

Bob Popper, who served at Det 150 from August 1967 to August 1968 sent pictures of not only the site, but also the equipment and off-duty life.  Please check Bob's Det 150 alumnus page for details.

Harold Maier who served at Det 150 with me in 1981 and 1982 sent a group photo, taken in The Top of the Mountain Lounge, from those years.
