Tracy Lewis
Class of 1979
Air Force, 6 Years

I was a Security Policeman. After Basic Training, and Technical School in San Antonio, I was stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota and was a nuclear weapons security specialist. I mainly worked in the Minuteman III Missle Field at the actual missle silos when needed, and did a lot of warhead convoy security escort. After there a couple of years, I received orders to Dyess A.F.B, Texas. There I continued a nuclear security mission with uploaded B-52 & B-1 Bombers and in the Nuclear Weapons Storage Area for the next four years. I was also deployed TDY to Central America during the conflict in El Salvador and surrounding countries. Yes, it was a shooting conflict, to which I can testify! P.S. I also was on the security detail when the Shah of Iran was exiled in 79 and flown to Lackland A.F.B. in San Antonio (didn't get to see him...just put on the perimeter).
