  • They were used for Lackland's Correctional Custody for a while.
  • Home sweet home in 69!
  • We had em' in 67. Colder than hell at night, an oven during the day!
  • Home sweet home in 1968. Now that I have learned there was Asbestos problem back then. Was there Asbestos in June - July 1968 I was bunked in one of the old barracks. I am currently having lung problems and have recently learned that every installation I was assigned had Asbestos problems. Dale. D. Connell USAF (Ret)
