We handeled all personnel, educational services, transportation and disbursing functions for every command and person in/on Adak. I was there for 39 months and would have stayed longer if I could. Loved that tour!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376939772571631028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4860897900615196454.post-30990341869915436412017-08-29T05:21:56.319-08:002017-08-29T05:21:56.319-08:00LOL - good one! :^)LOL - good one! :^)Rev.

There were six- to eight-foot land waves rolling across yards, sidewalks, and parking lots. The north half of 4th Avenue in downtown Anchorage dropped 30 feet, and shifted 20 fee sideways. I used to manage a mall that now sits atop where that hole was.Rev.
