I've been an "Axman" or member of the order of the ax since 1989, wear a little gold ax on a chain around my neck. All it signifies is I was stupid enough to let the Air Force send me to Axros Air Base and I came back alive. The stuff going on at Araxos was probably about as interesting as the TV show, except of course when you had time to go to the beach and watch the German girls frolic nude on the beach. What was the AX like? No TV, no Radio, newspapers came a day or two or three late unless the Greek post office was on strike, then we didn't get newspapers or mail. I always threatened to stick the entire BX in one of our Ford Econolines so it'd be mobile, that is assuming we could get one of the Econolines to run. You'd sit in the command post for 48 or 72 hours a week so we could direct the Greeks to launch their alert aircraft, the ones sitting in the hanger next to the command post, the ones that didn't have any engines in them. We were protected by Greek conscripts earning 1000 Drachma a month (6 bucks American) toting M-1s with no bullets. Why were we stopping Russia from taking over the place? Had they gotten it it would of bankrupted them decades before they finally went bust (the Russians and Greeks). History? all those Greek ruins you see on TV, those aren't ruins, that's stuff the Greek contractors never got around to finishing. But I guess I was successful, the flag went up the pole 365 times during the year I was there so mission accomplished one won for America.
