Comment from: Nelson Bishop, 28 March 2000:

Wow, cool. I did a summer hire stint cleaning toilets (some people get all the luck, don't they? - LJB) at this site one year. It was kind of a bummer because all my friends had summer hire jobs on WB or BW, but I was stuck off in the middle of nowhere. It was a nearly self sufficient site. The brown building in the photos was the barracks for the on-site troops. There was also an on-site club and movie theatre (I think that's the building on the far left).

And, from the image below, it seems the Air Force liked Nelson, too!
