When we deployed to Goose Bay, Labrador with our F-4s we planned on having some parties. We bought about 10 cases of tequila and margarita mix to take with us. Jack Bolt got some decals made up (see below), we floated the labels off the tequila bottles and attached our own. My wife Carol, got a bunch of beach posters from her travel agency job to set the mood. This is a great sticker from almost 30(!) yrs ago. Wow!!! (Next Panel) We had teams from England and Germany as well as folks from the U.S. They all asked about our tequila as the Recce boys from Birmingham had brought their own moonshine. Lightning explained that our Officer's Wives Club cooked up our tequila at home in bathtubs and sold the rotgut to finance our squadron parties. Everyone bought it hook, line and sinker :) Those were some awsome parties! Do you think this stuff gets better with age?

When going to an officer club at another base it was always a good idea to protect your identity - especially when swiping the F-106 model hanging from the ceiling in the club at Luke, AFB. TAC actually stands for Ted's Air Command :) Max Headroom was a popular TV show in the 80s. Willard Peacock was a character from a book that was hijacked for various uses. It also became the name of our annual squadron golf tournament.

The post-Tailhook days were a tough time for the Navy. The AF aslo got into the act and sent teams to every active, reserve and ANG unit to interview all the female members to see if they had been sexually harrassed at work. Aguiar had been long gone by then :)
