Or Slocomb would be somehow explaining to us how many Flying Boxcars there were in the Air Force when the ONE forgiving feature of them was its reliability so that they didn't crash?

It is like reading idiots. John has no idea what he is talking about - he doesn't even know that the two major commands in the Air Force was SAC and TAC. I can only assume that it is his age since the B50 he claimed to be a crew chief on was a part of SAC. Flunky talking about promotions in the Air Force is funny since he was 4F because he's a queer.

"I was born in October of 1944. I joined at 17.5 Those with the
ability to add would assume that I joined the Air Force in May of
1961. 4 years of active duty and two years inactive liable to be
recalled would to most people mean that I got off of active duty in
1965 and finished my service of the Air Force in 1967."

Tom claims to have been in the USAD between May 1961 and 1965.
According to Wikipedia, the 6091st was active during those dates.
Therefore Tom might have been on active duty with the 6091st when it
was active if he were deployed at Yakota AFB in Japan.  I don't recall
if Tom every mentioned having been deployed to Yakota AFB.

well, I WAS there for some of that time and I can assure you that  Tom
wasn't there.

The key to Tom's posting is that he doesn't mention any promotions,
which usually means that he never got one. Which is a bit of an
indication of what the A.F. thought of his contributories to the
effort..
