Robert Earl Wayne

West Point, 1946

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by CMSgt Bob Remel on May 31, 2013:

Having enlisted at age 16 in 1958......... I found myself assigned as the Base Fire Chief at NKP, Thailand in 1972, after 2 tours in Vietnam.

While in the middle of the war.............Line Backer II I was inspected by PACAF and 13 AF and they said my Fire Dept was bad. Col. Wayne told them to get the hell off his Base and never come back !

He called me into his office and said "Fuck those assholes!!"

And if I needed anything..........come to see him!

I made CMSgt!
Thank you Col. Wayne!
