Gary Ulmer
Class of 1977
Air Force, 4 Years
Power Production Specialist stationed in CA at one of the 4 PAVE PAWS Radar Sites. These sites were operational until the late '90's when the threat of submarine launched ballistic missles declined with the fall of the Soviet Union. Originally only CA and Mass had sites until the mid-80's when 2 additional sites were constructed in GA and TX. I served my entire hitch at the CA site and went to work as a civilian at the GA site during final phase of construction. I eventually served a temporary assignment at the TX site. The PAVE PAWS Radar provided a complete coverage for the US and had a secondary mission of tracking satellites and other objects in orbit. It was very interesting duty and I would not trade my experience for the world. FYI-Part of the movie WarGames was filmed at the CA site.
