Ormsby AACS Commander Retires After 30 Years Major Alonzo M. Ormsby, Com manding Officer of the 1906 AACS Squadron, at Hill Air Force Base retired from active duty this week after 30 years of service. The Maj or took command of the Airways and Air Communication organization at Hill in May 1949. He will be relieved by Captain William Nogay. Major Ormsby began his career in the service in 1921, when he en listed in the United States Navy. He was trained as a radioman, and went to sea on adestroyer. The ship spent much of its time patrol-in- g the Yang Tsi River in China during the three years that Radio man Ormsby was aboard. ' The man enlisted in the Signal Corps of the Army in 1925. He continued to rise in the com munication field, and became a Warrant Officer in 1939. On December 7, 1941, Warrant Officer Ormsby was stationed at Hickam Field when it was struck by the Japanese. Shortly afterward, he was commissioned First Lieutenant, and 'returned to the states at that time. Speaking of his three decades of service, Major Ormsby said that he highly recommends the service as a career for a young man.' "The service is just what you make of it," the AACS Commander told his . airmen recently. "Thirty years ago when I joined up they said, 'the service ain't what it used to be.' It isn't now either. It is a better place." Major Ormsby will make his home in Salt Lake City after his retirement. He plans to go into business in this area. ex-Na- vy . |
