Hello. I wanted to put a request for MMS patches, preferrably in color. EBay has become to expensive and I don't have the time to compete with all the "wolves". I would guess a few of you have been around awhile or worked in the MMS days. Any help will be appreciated. I can only offer to buy. My "need" list is: 1,2,9,10,11,17,30,31,32,38,41,57,58,59,60,73,92,96,388,401,408,413, 456 and 4258. Thank you in advance. P.S. I hope to in 2007 get a MMS/patch site up and running that will include my A-10 patches from my time at Eielson and the twin bases. |

Munitions Maintenance Squadrons, something us 462's were in before the dark times, known as "AGS"! |

Yes, SAC did maintain their MMS units long after TAC, AAC, PACAF & USAFE. My first was the 48th MMS at RAF Lakenheath. My A-10 experience was via the 343rd Composite Wing and the 581st AGS and 81st EMS. |

I thought the Munitions Maintenance Squadrons were called MUNS and they took care of the nukes we planned on letting our allies use. The only place I saw those was in Europe back in the Cold War days. Coach |

Coach MUNS are ammo only. The old Mickey Mouse Squadrons were a mixture of Ammo and Armament personnel. Fender "Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it." George Bernard Shaw |

I'm pretty sure the 23rd TFW Bomb Dump Folks were MUNS and the Armament Folks (Muzzle F--Ker's) and (Rack Jack-offs)in EMS. Fender you guys where set-up like us so it has to be Bomb Dump. I only remembered BMW (Ballistic Missle Wing) as being a Strange set of letters. Goose LIVE FREE OR DIE! |

I sense just a wee bit of negativity for us MMS personnel. But no matter how you slice it, without weapons the Air Force would be just another unscheduled airline. |

Muzzle-F--Ker's and Rack Jack-Offs are terms of Respect for those Folks in Weapons and so is BB stackers, just like "Tire Kickers,Nose Pickers,Wrench Bender " is too. Those terms are mostly for the "Back-shop" Folks . The AMU's or whatever their called now APG, SPEC's AND WEAPONS are or Were family . and all Squadrons had nicknames AGS ALWAYS GETTIN SHIT or AINT GOT SHIT EMS EAT MY SHIT or ENORMOUS MASS of SHIT CRS CANT REPAIR SHIT or COULDNT REPAIR SHIT MMS MICKEY MOUSE SQUADRON Its all done in Respect, Now let an CBO PUKE say it and then its a WAR.

My apologies, I get a bit caught up in the name thing at times. I had read on another forum about a crew chief making stupid references to weapons troops and it just got the better of me. I was one that always assisted the Crew chief or POL or backshop when I could. So I'll try not to be so sensitive in the future. Cheers! |
