SEA Search and Rescue Questions
In SEA we came up with several questions and answers to be used during Rescue attempts.
They were stored locally until you had the misfortune of being shotdwn.
Then they were forwarded to the Search and Rescue Center.
Like a F-4 guy was shot down deep in N Vietnam.
There was no contact with him and it as in an area that didn't have that my much overflight.
So after he was down for I think about two weeks, he contacted a US plane.
There was more than a little skepticism that he had been captured and was being used to lure in our forces.
So they tried his questions and he knew the answers.
They were still reluctant to commit the Rescue troops.
This was an Okie Boy, went to Oklahoma State.
So a guy he knew from there overflew him.
They chatted and the overhead Okie asked about a place like 'Betty's Place.'
The response you mean that Beer Joint out out on Highway so and so?
That's him!
He was rescued.
My questions?
One was - Who are your best friends?
What's the name of this Forum?
My Best Friends are Smith and Wesson!

I have a friend, a MD who was in the Air Force. He was assigned to a SAR squadron. He said he earned two things: when somebody hands you a rifle, you take it, and when somebody says "get in the plane, Doc", you get in the plane.
I can't remember the name of his unit, but the patch is a profile of Elvis, and the motto is "If he's out there, we'll find him."

I remember having to fill out one of those before one of my TADs in the Navy.
