The following pages will be listed by Old
Oneijak and me in dedication to all of the Students that I was able
to work with and train at the Sentry Dog School, Lackland AFB, San
Antonio Texas from Oct 1966 to Dec 1968. All of these photos have
since been sent to the "Vietnam Archives" program at Texas Tech
University in Lubbock Texas where they will be available for future
generation. I have had the pleasure over the years to run into a
small number of my students:
William "Bill" Cummings - (12068 Aug 68)
635th SPS K9 Utapao Thailand - which started me on these pages. I
have also been contacted by Vince DeGuilio, Mike Clunis both
from same class (02108 Nov 68). Vince sent me a copy of the
class photo as I did not have that one. Amn Davis (023087 Oct
67)
I have trained Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine students in these
classes from privates to 2nd Lt's. I will list a combine student
roster, instructor roster and photos of all instructors that I have
on their separate pages. There will then be a page for
each class photo with students names(12 pages total Class
Photos). I have tried to keep them large enough to view
and this may cause some delay in loading if one does not have high
speed downloading capabilities. If you are a former student, I will
send a CD upon request to you of your class photo. Individual
Class Photographs with Student Listing will be available off the
Combined Student Roster page with Class Numbers
At the end of these pages, I will be posting a class picture
(15117) Jan 68 of a fellow Utapao K9 handler that was sent to me by
his wife. I did not train Robert Steinmasel. It is there for any of
his classmates that may desire a copy if they lost theirs.
I want to say thanks to all of the students that I had the
privilege of working with and I hope in some way that I helped in
some small way to shape them into a better person than when
they arrived and maybe instilled some of the things necessary for
them to make it thru their assignment in Vietnam and in later
life -
God Bless all of you and your
families
