I had the pleasure of meeting TB in 1983 at McChord AFB. My first duty assignment for Combat Control. I remember he was very helpful and giving me some great advice on how to advance my career and make good decisions for my life. I will always be grateful for the time we spent together.

SSGT Thompson walked up to me on my 9th day of basic training August 20th 1969 and ask me if I'd like to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. after recieving my positive answer, he put me through a physical test to see if I could make it as a Combat Controller. On my 7th day of basic I put in my dream sheet to be an air traffic controller. That's how he had found out about me. Anyway, after going through the PT. he informed me that I would be recieving orders to Ft. Benning GA then to Keesler... Read more

I didn't see him until I went down to Panama in June 1970. that's where we had a few beers and we never saw eachother again.... Collapse

10 years today... Happiness had to be redefined after we lost you. Your smile was infectious. Your hugs were aggressive. We all felt special being close to you. Can't wait to see you again. Rest easy Brother.

Jamie, I remember your dad. My dad was part of his team, and I remember the day my dad told me Emilio had died. I was just a kid back then too, but I still remember going to your house for a CCT party. Your dad didn't talk "at" me, he talked "to" me. I thought he was the coolest guy ever.

Mark was the Commandant at OL-H when I was a Cone. He then got knighted and showed up at 314 CCS Little Rock AR as my TL then again at 22 STS as my TL again. We ises to mess with each other constantly. He pulled the spark plug cables from my Camaro, I filled his van vents with raw chicken before he drove from Tacoma to San Antonio. I also pulled off his tires from time to time. We had a TL/team memeber relationship during work. But we were also friends. He stopped at my house over a weekend... Read more

A1C Sullivan and (then) A1C Sibley were my wingmen throughout the cone pipeline. One of the most memorable experiences we shared was evading OPFOR during the first phase of SERE back in 2009. The three of us were promptly caught once—while climbing over a hill—by a striking SERE instructor. That was our one allowed “catch,” and after she let us go, we decided that getting caught again wasn’t an option. As the photo suggests, it was spring or summer. I remember Sibley coming across a patch of wild huckleberries, which we enjoyed before moving toward the final “safe house.” Before... Read more

As the photo suggests, it was spring or summer. I remember Sibley coming across a patch of wild huckleberries, which we enjoyed before moving toward the final “safe house.” Before we reached it, we heard a lot of shouting from that direction. Trusting our instincts, we held back and waited on a hillside out of sight. That decision kept us from getting caught a second time.
I’ll never forget that time. God bless you, Sib. [IMG_nj3YlDQ.jpeg]... Collapse

Jim, I will never forget our CCT adventures and time together as brothers. I will always remember the day we caught our limit of Lobsters off Catalina Island after our 1000yard night time compass swim (SCUBA). Your strategy about breaking open sea urchins to rally in the lobsters was epic. We bagged 14 lobsters inside of 10 minutes. Unbelievable brother. You are missed! However, Never forgotten.
