• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

They missed the bus this afternoon

Ha Ha, Dallas Sucks

I was stationed in Alvarado just outside Dallas in 67, they all loved Dallas even before they began to be winners for Tom Landry's tenure. He was a tough coach and did not take any bullshit, he was losing a game one sunday and one of the star players were hamming it up on the sideline for the news cameras, he walked over and fired him on the spot. My image shows what I think about the Cowgirls today.

Duncanville was Battalion Hdqs, Charlie Battery was in Alvarado, another unit at Fort Wolters and East of Dallas was another base. My Base is exactly as it was left when the Army closed all bases. Only one base is left in fully working order which is located in San Francisco as a working museum. All the radars and electronics are functional and they have daily tours. My base is slowly being removed by the Texas winds and dust. There are two property owners and both are real estate brokers who own the upper area where the radars and administration was located, the person on that upper section actually made the mess hall into living quarters. The launch area has not been touched and only leased to the Texas Highway Department over 20 years ago.
