I was stationed at Alconbury from 1975 - 1977 and of my 14 assignments this was one of my most enjoyable. I grew as a professional and became a better equipment operator since I was one of two assigned to the CE squadron. I was selected as NCO of the quarter several times. I most enjoyed our little Baptist church located in an old pub in Little Stukely. The Corby Commandoes and Huntingdon Hookers were alive and performing as advertised. My first weekend on the base I found two of these ladies come into my shower from one of my airmen friends room ... which was strictly forbidden. I had a heart to heart talk with Pat Farilleo that Sunday morning. My years there found us having extreme temperatures during the summer of 1976 - over 100 degree F. days. I saw the activation of the Agressor squadron and enjoyed a close relationship with the pilots and maintenance crews. We saw our Spartans beat Mildenhall and the Bitburg Barons in football ... what a year for football. I also learned to fence while in Huntingdon and enjoyed the sport so much. Suffice it to say I have very fond memories of Alconbuery and the wonderful British people. Signed CMSgt Mike Ezell retired 2003.
