Please understand that I don't take myself at all seriously but here's the scoop: When I was fresh out of High School I needed some direction and I knew I wanted to be an Electronics dude. That led me to the USAF. I had the honor to serve my country fixing of all things Titan II ICBM's. My main duties were repairing launch control electronics, guidance stuff, vapor sensing gear, power supplies, missile wiring and a bunch of other airborne and ground control equipment. The scale was unbelievable. It's my proudest personal accomplishment and some of the best people I've ever known I meet during those years. I'm also the webmaster for our website www.308smw.com |
Taken May 1980, Here's a classic "Where's Waldo" 60 pounds and 26 years ago. That's me upper left from the Woman in front of the engine. This pic is my graduating class from Missile training. You're looking at the interstage area of stage II. That missile is currently on display at the Titan II museum in Az. |
Mitch Huff - Fontana, Ca. Chris Lavine - Cleveland, Oh. me, sadly those six pack abs look more like a twelve pack now..... |

The Business Center of a Titan II missile complex, For over 25 years 4 men (and women) would stand guard for the call that never came. We took our jobs VERY seriously. |
Okay maybe it wasn't all business, Notice our keen focus evident from all those long hours of studying we did. Huff is only now revealing the recently declassified secret handshake.... |
