  1. In the photo above Amn Timothy Roberts is armed with a M-240B not M-249 SAW.

  2. Anonymous,

    Thanks for your correction.

    I confirmed your identification of the weapon via Wikipedia.com. The Altus AFB web site has it incorrectly identified as the M-249 SAW, but in comparing the two, it's clear that the weapon is an M-240B.

    Feel free to contact us via the "Contact Us" link above, since it's always great to hear from folks (whether you're an MP, AP, SP, SF, or civilian).

    Thanks again,


    J.P. Brown

    I had carried M-1 Garand , while workign flight line security, 323rd AP SQ, Bunker Hill AFB
    (grissom) DEc '56 thru Aug '57, also with the security alert team, 363rd AP SQ, Shaw AFB Aug'57 thru March '58. You surely could use a good photo of a M-1 Garand here

  5. The shotgun is missing! Don't remember what make and model it was but used them in Germany in the 80's.
