773rd AC&W Squadron Montauk AFS, NY
Closing and Final Retreat
Miles Martin, Maj. USAF, Ret., Montauk`s last Commanding Officer
The picture was taken in Nov of 80 and was snapped just as the flag was to be lowered. This was some time before the actual closure, but if we had waited any longer there would not have been enough people to have a formation. Note that the man in the rear of the formation was in fatigues as he had just come off shift in the 35 tower and fell into the formation. I (Maj. Miles Martin) am out front (gray hair even then). To my left was Lt. Harris, Personnel Officer, Behind us is Lt Thomas, Maint. Officer. The two SMS are SMS Martin, NCOIC of Maintenance, and the other SMS was the QC NCOIC whose name excapes me at the moment.
