LEIGH FRIED wrote on April 11, 2009 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Made two trips to Okushiri on the AKL. I thought it was the most remote and primitive place I had ever seen. My TDY trips were just routine for about a week each time. Once when the snow was the deepest I'd ever seen and once when the hills were covered thickly with bamboo. Still have what I think are some good pictures. Keywords:

BOB RUBLE wrote on September 9, 2008 CITY AND STATE: NEWBURY PARK CA UNIT: 613TH AC-W SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: I worked for awhile under Terruya (Hawaiin) Radio site. Later, I ran the radio site. I also ran the Special Services and built an operating radio station for music and DJ'd all over Japan. I saved a bunch of guys lives one day when I found my barracks covered under snow and the oil heater roof stack was covered with snow. I hand dug down to the front doors and black smoke piled out of the barracks and I pulled a lot of guys out to clear they're lungs out. A few more minutes and we would have had a bunch of dead buddies. Lots of memories. I think we were power or powder radio and the main net station was Gold Coast where Sgt Jake Keffer was in charge. I worked with the Navy P2V's who flew daily over Russia and around the Port of Vladivostok. The migs one day shot a P2V up before I could get help from Misawa AFB. The P2V I was told cradhed but they made it out ok. I will never forget when a P2V crew on Misawas shook my hand and thank you for having the best monitoring radio station in Japan. Lots more memories with AKL29 which brought our supplies and during the Korean action was used as a Ship binging dead soldiers from Korea. I was once in a middle of a monsoon on board the AKL29 which was a two hole freighter. Like I said I have lots of these memories and lots more of my Japan duty. Keywords: I worked with a Hawaiin who was in charge of out radio site. I believe his name was Terruya, I had to stay with him in town he did not like the Japanese which stems from Perl Harbor. I knew Sgt Jake Keffer who worked with me on the 773rd AC and W at Montauk, Long Island N.Y.. He worked at the Net control radio station at Furimaki. We were good buddies.

BOB RUBLE wrote on November 11, 2005 CITY AND STATE: NEWBURY PARK CA UNIT: 613TH AC-W SQDN, OKU SHIRRI SHIMA ISLAND, JAPAN SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: We were the best radar site covering Japan, Russia, and Korea and the Russians new it and use to mess with us all the time. We were on top of the mountain monitoring radio and radar. Constant monitoring of our aircraft by looking out for Russian acft and there Navy. Lots of stories and memories. I still wonder if any Russian Acft. who buzzed us out of Vladisvostok Air Base would carry some of my bullets back to there base. We got all of our supplies by ship AKL29 out of Aomori, Japan. It was a small two hold freighter which during Korea used as a ship to carry our dead military home. I have lots of great memories. It's the kind of thing that makes me proud of wearing our uniform.
