In July 1981, the new Electronic Security Command (ESC) commander, Maj Gen Doyle Larson asked a number of old timers if there might be sufficient interest by those who previously served in United States Air Force Security Service (USAFSS) or ESC to formalize an alumni organization. General Larson recognized that while there had been activity by many alumni for years, a structured organization might serve us better, with support from the command and members who would be willing to put a few hours into it. After some inquiry it was determined that indeed there was interest in such an organization.
To get started we formed an Ad Hoc group designed to set up some groundrules, establish a constitution and by-laws and determine the scope and nature of the association. The names on the Ad Hoc committee are listed below, accompanied by a membership application (and constitution and by-laws). Once the work of the Ad Hoc group was completed the organization was handed over to the Executive Officers and the chairpersons of the various functional committees. These folks will keep the organization running until formal elections are held later this year.

One very interesting aspect of the association falls under the general category of "activities" and includes a number of chores which will enable us to work with Hq ESC. We will be able to use the vast historical knowledge stored in our mental memory banks. To give you an idea of the kinds of things, we would recommend to ESC the names of those personnel whose service to USAFSS/ ESC was so extraordinary they deserve to be honored in the USAFSS/ESC "Hall of Fame", we would help name the streets on Security Hill, we would participate in civil actions by promoting awareness of significant issues that may be of interest to the members and ESC, we would promote operation Home Cooking to invite single airmen into private homes for Thanksgiving or Christmas, we would support USAF policies becoming well informed on policies and issues, we would recognize social programs such as COMFY OLYMPICS and outstanding airmen progress, we would assist in charitable/humanitarian activities, etc. The list could go on and on and really depends on how much we can bit off and certainly depends on the volunteer help we get from our membership. For example, Gen Larson asked we consider a program to enhance the history of various activities and units by interviews with those who were on the spot at the time.
