Served 18 months. Det94..USAFSS. K292 non morse on dog flight. I was at Karamursel from Sep 1962 - Feb 1964, before that FT. Meade, Maryland. I haven\'t heard from anyone for a long time. I think a few of us are still living. Anyone who was in turkey aroung the same time i would enjoy catching up on old times and find out what you are doing now.

1970\'s

New York

I was a native there. I was born there.

I used to live in Yalova in Eczaci Street on Fatih Caddesi. I used to play with my American friends . Their name could be Diana or Debbie or Darlene. I dont remember but their parents work at Karamursel base in Yalova. I am a Turkish American citizen now. They were living at the corner house at Eczaci Street.

Shipped to Turkey from Keesler school in 1969. Landed an extension for a second Turkey tour instead of shipping to Nam. Left in summer '72, finished last months at Homestead, copying Cuban sites at the Naval Security Group facility in the Everglades.

Would love to hear from anyone on Dog Flight, particularly Joos, to see what's happened to folks. What a life-changing experience. If I could repeat any years of my life, it would be my time in Turkey. I missed it so much when I got back to the US, I tried, a year later, to reenlist for my old job in Turkey. X1 was off the critical list, no luck. Took me a decade to get over my adopted homeland.

Outstanding. Been back twice on two tours of Turkey. Prior to one tour (Summer 2009) I came in early, rented a car in Istanbul, took the ferry over to Yalova, and drove by the base. Boy has the drive from Yalova to the base changed. Plan to go back again.

Both my wife and I loved both Turkey and Karamursel. We lived in \"Trailer Housing\" at #99 before we moved into the new housing. Spent a lot of time at both the NCO Club and Base Theater/Exchange System. Along with another Radio Maintenance friend we travel the local area. Enjoyed the trips to Bursa or Instanbul. The drive from Karamursel to Instanbul was always interesting. Was sorry to see the base closed, like numerous other USAFSS or ESC Sites they are now part of the U S Military History and they also provided a lot of memories.

Was assigned to the Radio Maintenance Shop working both Daze and Baker Flight when I worked shift work. Also spent my last year as the R & D Maintenance Person.

Turnish Women\'s Prision

Was there from 68-70. The only WAF I remember was Suzie (ssgt) W. We called her suzie skin. She loved to come out of the showers and raise the blinds and towel off for us. We appreciated it. Anyone remember her?

My father was stationed at Incirlik. There was no High School there so the Air Force sent 65 boys and girls to Karamursel and we lived in the baracks right by the front gate. The girls lived upstairs and the boys lived downstairs. This was the a great time in my life. I love the Air Force. I will always love Tracy Zbleski.

I love my country and i love the Air Force. I was there from 73 to 74.

The dates listed above I was the Base Youth Center Director ( was just out of the Marines). I was single and quite young and impressionable in those days. Most of the youth were just a few years younger than I was. I remember many by name and face. I was the Junior Varsity Football Coach in 1774 and 75. Chief Scaramucci and I coached those two teams together. I played on the Det. 94-1 Football team in 1974 and was a member of the Base Championship Football team also in 1974. I had subsequent tours on Taiwan, in Italy, and the Philippines. I remained overseas with USAFSS until late 1980. I then transferred into Military Education and Training with assignments at SAC Headquarters in Nebraska, then TAC in Georgia, the AFCC in Illinois, and finally with Alaskan Air Command at Elmendorf AFB in Alaska. I retired as a GS-14 in 2003 after 32 years of service. My last position was Chief, Education and Military Training for the Alaskan Command. Before PCS\'ing from Karamursel in late 1975, I married Catherine Lee Baudoin, an Airman in Able Flight. We were married in the village of Karamursel in May 1975. Colonel and Mrs Max Giovaninni as well as many others attended our reception on base after the short turkish wedding we had earlier that day. We have been married now for 38 years. I have always had very fond memories of Karamursel and especially the young people I met while administrating the Youth Center program there. I have often wondered what happened to all those great kids even to this day? We all went on many, many trips to sports events, sking at Mount Ulagag, the Goreme Valley, Cappadocia, Istanbul, many other locations. Would love to hear from those who might remember me. I am retired now and live in Battleground, Washington (rapidroger72@aol.com) . I teach Wilderness First Aid and Disaster Preparedness for the Red Cross, volunteer with the local school district and the High School Junior Air Force ROTC, work with the Boy Scouts, and take care of our 21 acres of forest.

Had some of the happiest times in my life when my father ( Airforce Captain Wallace Zimmerman ) was stationed at Karamursel - sharing them with Mother ( Margaret/Peggy ) my sister Lee, and my brothers Ken & Charlie.

You never really completely leave the military lifestyle behind you when you\'re out ( in this case when Dad retired from Duty in 75 ) or the feeling of having been part of something very special.

To my classmates. one and all, it was a blast knowing you - for sure.
And if you want to take a look at this guy from 3rd and 4th grades, respectively, check out the yearbooks from 70 & 71.

I lived in Yalova for three years and worked on Charlie Flight as a TDEV operator (a part of R&D). I remember all good times at work, eating at the steak house and the long bus ride back to Yalova after each shift. Also the experience of walking from ops to the mess hall to pick up the \"bennie\" truck was fun for me because out on that old abandoned runway looking up at the stars was just incredible. Also the trips to the 7 churches was an extrodinary experience. I still wish I could go back a see some of those sights again!

Family was in the Air Force. First tour we lived in the village in Yalova as there were very few base housing units for a family of 6 (4 kids). Loved Turkey!! Loved KCDI!!! Started 1st grade on base in a trailer - older sister, Linda, had to go to 10th grade in Ankara as the base school stopped at 9th graders. Base, at that time, only was secured with barbed wire. Remember walking to school early in the morning with the sounds of the MP\'s shooting the wild dogs that came down from the hills! Second tour, lived on base. Loved Mr. Oksoy. Returned to Turkey after college for a summer but base was off limits, of course. Couldn\'t believe Yalova - had grown into a big city. Then destroyed by earthquake. So sad. Remember waving to Russian subs that surfaced as we played in the water on the base. Am really trying to locate my good friend from both tours, Sylvia Calflisch. Her sister was Claudia Calflisch. Their family were Swiss and lived in Karamursel in a beautiful home on the water. They were allowed to attend our base school as their father worked for Goodrich Tires (I think). Please, anyone who knows how I can get in touch with Sylvia, please let me know. Or give her my email. I miss her! Sure miss all of those days. We share a special bond. Go Cougars!

Started out a ditty-bop on BAKER Flight. Moved on to a daylady position managing the elephant cage. Lived in Yalova (Pazar Yolu). I wouldn\'t trade these three years of my life for anything. My wife joined me for the duration, taking advantage of one of those Easter flights. My daughter was born in Ankara while I was stationed at Karamursel. We had a car, so we got to enjoy a lot of the country. Fishing at Lake Sapanja, skiing at Uludag, picnicing at Lake Iznik. We always seemed to have a carload of single guys from the base to share the fun. Played softball and football for Baker Flight. Golf outings, shooting pool, drinking and dancing at the NCO club to Lily and the Cavaliers......there is just too much to mention!
