Ah, how I miss those TDYs. In lieu of Oak-city, much preferred those bases in or within striking distance of wine country. Beale, Castle, Vandenberg, and March in California were great. Vandy still is. Griffiss in New York was close enough to the Finger Lakes to work. Even found wine in the environs of Knob Knoster, MO and Grissom, IN. One day when visiting the later, we met with a retired O-5 Gob who was the head of the Indiana Winegrowers Association. We rendezvoused with him for lunch in the O-club of Fort Benjamin Harrison. He open a large travelling case to reveal sixteen different Indiana wines. Most were fairly decent. He left the remains of the uncorked sixteen with the bartender. How did one get TDYs like that? Well being in charge of the clubs and package stores among other things for the then twenty five bases of the old Strategic Air Command helped.
