As I get additional documents, pictures, orders, etc., I will post them here as links.

To anyone that is visiting this web site and was stationed at the 693rd Radar Squadron on Dauphin Island, Alabama, I would like to hear from you.  Several of us are trying to put together pictures of both the Airmen and the Radar Site. 

To submit pictures of the 693rd Radar Squadron., any pictures of any of the radar sight and especially of the various radar units and/ or two radio section - Transmitters and Receiver sites as well as the other building would be most appreciated.  This would include both inside and outside of the all of the buildings and of the general area around and of the Squadron. Should you have pictures of the any of the men stationed there - please consider including these as well. If you took pictures around Dauphin Island or the local area on the mainland, please include these as well as any of the old draw bridge. 

Please include any information that you can remember for each picture either by numbering the picture on the back with a sharpie pen and a write up and / or by description.

How to submit pictures, documents etc.
Please follow these guide lines.

All pictures will be given credit as to who took them and the dates if this information is provided.

All pictures that are scanned should to be no less than 300 dpi - preferred in the TIF format.  If these are slides then they should be scanned in very hi res with the scanner set for 5 X 7" format not 2x2.  JPG can be used only if they are of large enough size that they will display on screen well.  Small ones cannot be increased in size at all.  JPG will only shrink in pictures size.  Note that 72 dpi if locked and is the normal low size jpg that current cameras take.  No adjustments are able to be made to the 72 dpi photos except downward in size.

Again - we can use JPG  but only as a last resort, since we are not able to re-format these pictures in any way except to make them smaller. 

All scanned pictures should be placed on either a CD or DVD.  Please do not try to email them to me as there is a 1 meg file size limit on on all pictures and a limit of 1 per emails in this size format. 

Should you not wish to do the scans of either pictures or slides / negatives, you may forward all pictures and slides / negatives to me and I will be more than happy to scan them for use on this web page.  All material sent to me will be returned completed with a copy of the scanned images on CD or DVD.

Please forward all material to me at:

You may wish to visit the following web sites that I am web master of.

www.polkcounty.org  ~  My home area located in Western North Carolina just south of Asheville NC or just north of Greenville / Spartanburg SC just off of I-26.  About 90 minute drive to the Smoky Mountain National Park and the Cherokee Indian Resveration.

www.afdasf.org  ~  This web site is the clearing house for all of the ROMAD's that served in one of the 7 Direct Air Support Flights.  Our units were located in 5 countries around the pacific theater.  We were the first Tactical Air Control Party and were deployed in both South Korea and South Vietnam to provide close air support to the troops on the ground.  We were also on the ground with these troops.  I served with both US and Korean forces but in Vietnam only with the Korean forces. The current ROMAD active duty web site is found at: www.romad.com   ~  If you want to see what the current Air Force Black Beret's do for a living, check this site out.  This is the only special forces that the Air Force has at this time. ROMAD's were the original FAC / ROMAD Team = TACP (Tactical Air Control Party) - First in and last out.

My work place while stationed at the 693rd was Radio Maintenance during the years of 1963-1965. I also ran the movie projectors for the Saturday night movie. I was transferred to the  4th Direct Air Support Flight which was attached to Osan AB South Korea, hence the fact that this web page is found under AF DASF web site.

www.beaudomainefarms.com for Superb Condiments locally made in upstate SC.  These items are very reasonably price and are some of the best tasting that I have ever tasted!  Well worth your while to take a look at the products. 

www.captainsclerk.info is a full history of every man, woman, child that ever served on the USS Constitution ~ the tall ship.  This web site is used by the Library of Congress, US Navy, The birth place of the USS Constitution in Boston Mass. and by a number of colleges including the Navy Academy.  This site is very large and has much history about all of the trips around the world this ship made as well as all of the battles it was involved with.  Well worth your time to take a look at this site.

Thank you in advance for your interest in helping to put together this project.
