See you guys were discussing Bullet Shot at Anderson and thought I would throw in my 2 cents worth about it

I was stationed at Dyess with the MMS and the wing there was deployed to Anderson on Bullet Shot I along with I think a lot of other wings. We road a KC from Dyess to Hickam for a stop over for refueling or something and were forbidden to deplane. We spent about a hour there and took off for our trip to Guam. I do believe it was the longest trip I had ever taken in a 135. Don't remember our arrival too much at Anderson but do remember there were a lot of 52s on the ramp with more to follow in the coming months. The available quarters for us were tin city and a few tents that had been prepared . They would build more for the influx of people (about 4000 TDY). It was like WWII days with the cots and all. You talk about hot, man hot and humid was the word there. Later to add insult to injury they put up fences so the PCS ladies wouldn't have to see the guys wandering around half dressed and the laundry hanging out. Those fences were a block for any air that a guy could get to sleep after busting his ass for 12 hours. Ya had to go to the club and get snokered and stager back to your cot to get any sleep. All the commanders and senior NCOs were given fairly decent places to bed down with air conditioning. The commanders were bedded down in local hotels with maids and all. Spoke to my commander about the morale of the troops many times during our deployment and was preached to about the mission and other small talk. He didn't really care and I could see it. Never saw so many full bulls and E-8s and E-9 running around making matters worse for the troops. Not to put down the mission or anything as I was for it along with the biggest percentage of the load crews but it got to the point that they were being harassed so much that they had several slow downs while I was there. The base was huge and there was at least 150 B-52s of all types there . They had no preload like UT so it was all one by. Never seen teams load so many A/C in my life . Average load crew would get at least 4 to 6 loads per shift and we had at least 10 to 15 load crews per shift. You that were there might remember the snack shack where guys use to gather to drink a few too besides going to the club which stayed open 24/7. Guess the got mucho complaints about guys using the rear and sides to relieve themselves. Guys did make their living quarter fairly decent using ammo boxes for shelves and desks. Guess I'm painting a grim picture of it all but that the way it was. Got a lot more stories of that TDY and could almost write a book on it. Forgot to say, at the start over there we had assists for UT about the operations and help from their load teams. Upon my return to Dyess wed get off the plane and were informed one by one if we would be sent back after our brief stay with our families. They were going to send me back but after 15 days back I received orders for UT to be there in a couple of months.
