I was trained and was a certified ACS [assistant chief of section] or NCOIC of a launch crew. This clip shows a Pershing unit in the field and we also had a Battery at Combat Alert Status site ready to fire. When the klaxon sounded we ran like Spitfire pilots to our launch pad. We spent 25 percent of our time on CAS. Thirty eight years later and several of us are still in touch. We became closer than brothers. We were the Soviets number one target and we knew what would happen the next day. Personally we may have disliked some of the others but should they be in jeopardy that would not have made a difference.
