Hi, glad you stopped by.

I was assigned to the 3399th School Squadron in Jan l960.  This was my first duty assignment after completing Basic Training
at Lackland.  I was assigned to the 3399th as an orderly room clerk.

That has been 40 years ago and my memory is not as good as I would like for it to be.  But to the best of my memory, the people listed below were the permanent party personnel during my two year stay at the 3399th.

  Capt Morris H. Weiser was the Commander
  Lt Jon P. Jehn was the Adjutant
  M/Sgt Robert H. Papizan was the First Seargent
  T/Sgt J.J. Miller was the Supply Seargent
  S/Sgt Bobby G. Kiser was the Chief Clerk
  A2C Phillip Helton was a Supply Clerk
  A3C Eddie Taylor was a Supply Clerk also, I think.
  A3C  Babbis was a Supply Clerk also, I think.

If you happen along and served at the 3399th during the 1960 - 1962 period and see any errors in the above listing, please let me know.

If you happen upon this page and were at some time, assigned to the 3399th, please email me any comments, suggestions, pictures or etc. and I will include your input into this page.

On Jan 26, 2002, I talked with Mrs Papizan by phone.  She said that Sgt. Papizan spent a tour of duty in Vietnam after he left the 3399th.  He then retired and went to work for civil service.  She also said that Sgt Papizan died of a heart attack in 1983.

Also on Jan 26, 2002, I talked with Lt Jehl.  Lt Jehl left active duty when his obligation was up and transferred to the Air Force Reserve.  He is now retired from civil service and from the Air Force Reserve.  Lt Jehl was glad to hear from me after all these 40 years and said he would like to attend a reunion of the 3399th.

I am also trying to locate others on the list above that we served with.  If anyone that served with the 3399th would like to come to a reunion, email me and I will let you know as soon as we set a definate date for the reunion.

 
Thank you,
