SGT. SPARKS - DON’T CALL IT THE AIR FORCE
The Players:
A1C James Avery (crew chief) and A2C Lawrence Theurer, 8th Tactical Bomb Squadron
In between my first and second tours to Phan Rang, I’m back at Clark in the Philippines.
One day in the barracks I got a new roommate, a Staff Sergeant named Sparks, He was the
oldest Airman I’d ever seen. I don’t know how old he was. He looked way older than any of the
Colonels.
He seemed to be constantly angry. He challenged me to go outside the barracks and fight one
day for some little thing I said. I really wanted to but since I only had one stripe and he had
more I declined.

He would get furious at anyone who said the word “Air Force”. He would yell at them “Don’t
you call it the Air Force. It’s the Army Air Corps, and don’t you forget it”.
He was going around the barracks saying he could not wait to get to Phan Rang because he had
heard stories about this terror guy there named Master Sgt. Badger who was running the flight
line and he, Sparks, was “Going to straighten him out!”
Having encountered Master Sgt. Badger myself in my tour in Vietnam, I silently thought “Well,
I’m dying to see how that works out for you”.
On my second tour in Phan Rang I’m riding down the ramp in the back of a truck and I see
Sparks out there at a bomb trailer putting fuses in bombs and looking really, really, really
miserable. I so much wanted to yell out “Hey Sparks, did ya straighten out Badger yet?”
But I held my tongue. Never saw him after that.

plainly inked," said Long. "Closer investigation led me to my steel pot, which was sitting near a
stove with freshly cooked rice in it," added Long, of Mackeyville, Pa.

The Magic Bank Account (I received this in an email from Antonio Salazar, 35th SPS, and I just
wanted to share it with everyone. You’ve probably seen it before or similar stories but it’s just
good to ponder again. The message says the author is not known. It was allegedly found in the
billfold of Coach Paul Bear Bryant, Alabama, after he died in 1982.)
Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest: Each morning your bank would
deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has rules:
The set of rules:
1. Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend it.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400 for that
day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say,"Game Over!” It can close
the account and you will not receive a new one.
What would you personally do?
You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all the
people you love and care for. Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly
spend it all on yourself, right?
You would try to spend every penny, and use it all, because you knew it would be replenished
in the morning, right?
Phan Rang AB News 54, Page 11
Phan Rang AB News
...keeping the memories alive
ACTUALLY, This GAME is REAL ....
Shocked ??? YES!
Each of us is already a winner of this *PRIZE*. We just can't seem to see it.
The PRIZE is *TIME*
1. Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life.
2. And when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is Not credited to us.
3. What we haven't used up that day is forever lost.
4. Yesterday is forever gone.
5. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time
WITHOUT WARNING...
SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds?
Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars. Think about it and
remember to enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you
think.
So take care of yourself, be happy, love deeply and enjoy life!
Here's wishing you a wonderful and beautiful day. Start "spending"....
"DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWING OLD...!"

REUNION OVERSEAS
Two former Tupper High classmates
enjoyed reminiscing about school
days in the home town recently when
A/1C Wayne Soucy, left, and Airman
James H. Kucipeck got together at
Phan Rang Air Base, in the embattled
Republic of Vietnam. Airman Soucy is
serving with the 352nd TAC Fighter
Squadron as a weapons loader.
Airman Kucipeck is with the 435th
Munitions Maintenance Squadron as
a munitions specialist. The
sandbagged emplacement behind
them is a grim reminder that Vietcong attack is an ever-present threat.
James Kucipeck wrote: “...He (Wayne) and I were from the same home town and went to the
same high school and were friends. When I joined the AF he was already in Lowry. I bumped
into him in the chow hall at Phan Rang. In fact he lived in the hooch right behind me. We served
together there for about 2 mos. before he rotated back. He did two tours in Vietnam, Phan
Rang and Bein Hoa also made a career of the Air Force. He died a few years ago of cancer
because of Agent Orange. This is my small tribute to him as he always carried this picture in his
pickup truck and would readily tell everyone who would listen that we served together!”

The Homecoming Update (From Phan Rang News 53)
Lee Moore, 35th AMS/Auto Pilot shop, added a story that I thought was pretty unique so I
thought since I was going to be adding his, but before I do, I would relate a story about my own
experience.
I was flying home from San Francisco to Minneapolis and sometime during the flight the captain
comes on over the intercom thanking any Vietnam returnee for their service that may have
been on his flight. I don’t remember his exact words, but I was very touched by them, in fact
they actually brought tear to my eyes. I was traveling in civilian clothes and of course no one
would have known that I was in the service, except I probably looked the part. At any rate
during that period of my life I was a Vietnam denier. What I mean by that is I certainly didn’t
advertise the fact that I was in Vietnam, but would say so If asked. It all has to do with not
liking to have attention drawn to myself.
Now on to Lee’s story. Lee wrote...my friend Ronald Jester, former tech school classmate that l
was stationed with for three years and l flew up to Cam Rahn Bay together. l was to catch a
freedom bird that day and he the next day. They had a few empty seats on my plane, so he
wound up on the same freedom bird as me. At SEATAC, while waiting for our separate flights
home, a guy walked up to us and said there was an Army troop on his way home on emergency
leave and wasn't able to get his flight home because he was in his jungles fatigues and did not
have any Class A's. l couldn't help, but my friend Ron had another set of 1505's in his bag and
gave them to him. So at least during his plane ride home this Army guy was an honorary USAF
Airman. That is my second best memory of homecoming; of course the best was being picked
up by my family in Portland, OR, shortly thereafter.
