Comment: This is a good read. Be encouraged -- we old SAC missileers are proud of you young missileers! Be advised: yours is one of the most difficult jobs in the world! You are dealing with a world on high alert as much and more than we faced in the Cold War! Two hot wars -- both threatening to go nuclear -- Europe and the Middle East.
Peace is our Profession was SAC's Motto -- Make it Yours -- You Did

Quote:
I guess if I had to sum it up in a few words: I love missiles because it's regimented, precise, technical and rewarding. What we - maintenance, security forces, operations and support - do is enable good to triumph over evil. To steal a phrase from the Association of Air Force Missileers, it's a privilege and an honor to be a part of the "Fraternal Order of Subterranean Sentinels."
