June 1969 - Exercise Exotic Dancer, San Juan, Puerto Rico |

First class section of a C-130, several hours from Kelly Air Force Base, San Antonio to Ramey Air Force Base near San Juan, now the Rafael Hernandez Airport |
At one time, many years ago, I knew the names of these airmen, all from transmission security units at HQ USAFSS Kelly AFB and my detachment at Brooks Air Force Base |
Our luxurious accommodations on the beach below Ramey Air Force Base, occasionally dodging falling coconuts |
Good friend and San Antonio neighbor, sergeant Jim Hansen reading, no TV's in our "hotel" room; Jim later went to officer candidate training and retired from the Air Force as a Major |
Friend and long-time acquaintance, sergeant Leo Duran; Leo and his wife were also assigned to San Vito dei Normani AB in Italy during the time me and my family were there |
View from the beach near our tents of a thunderstorm moving over San Juan |
Our camp near the beach, our latrines lined up right off the beach, middle right in the photo; coconuts litter the ground |
Another view looking in the opposite direction; the red barrel with the silver bucket hanging on it contained water in case of fire, not that it could have helped much |

Another view of our tent city |
