It was an interesting time because things were in disarray at the base immediately following the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy. We had a brief base lock down, cancelled leaves, and training schedules were thrown off a bit. I don't have a list of all graduates in this picture. I'm kneeling on the bottom row, third from the right, A3C Otto Rueger Jr. After graduation, I went to Sheppard AFB for 3 1/2 years supporting various missions including B-52/KC-135 support for the 494th; German Air Force training (T-37s/T-38s; and helicopter flight training for the Vietnamese. My most memorable NCIOCs were Robert M. Burris (one of the finest people I've ever met) and a real character, CMSGT Gladstone Grigsby.
