#2 Izzat still the 5th SBW? Probably not, SAC is gone. Still, never turn down a TDY, especially to a pacific island. Even Guam counts.

Have B-52's been based on other Pacific Islands? Tinian? Okinawa I guess.... anywhere else?

#4 This is one of them âhard luckâ deployments that the Air force does. I bet they did not lack volunteers to go to Guam in the winter. I had to spend three âbrutalâ years in Hawaii, two years on Crete Greece, and deployed six times to Nellis AFB NV (a month each). That was the 'good times', won't tell about the bad ones. Each time I went so that others could not. Bon Chance to the Buff crew-dogs and enjoy yourself on the beach.
