435th Security Police Squadron

My friend John Kerrigan. I met him 31Oct86 at Rhein-Main Air Base, FRG (my first duty day as Air Force Fuzz). What a weird swing shift that was... there were so many irritated Frankenstein's Monsters, Werewolves, Vampires & other assorted Halloweenies coming in the Main Gate. Why were they irritated?... Because we had a 100% hands on ID check & the ghoulies had to match the photos on the ID's. My favorite was the Mummy. He worked so hard on wrapping his entire body in gauze & Ace bandages & really looked like he wanted to kill me for making him unwrap his head & face.

John is a very dedicated Law Enforcement professional. He's one hell of a cop with a very distinguished career. He is quick witted & has a keen sense of humor. Wish I had a copy of one particular "Jeep Joke" he played on an unsuspecting Airman which involved the Base Fire Department, Base Hospital, Base Command Post and other agencies who played along with what had to be the best prank in Security Police history.

John was also part of another 435th SPS Original... TSgt Keith Avery's impromptu re-enlistment ceremony which was hastily held in the restroom adjacent LED in Bldg 343. How appropriate!

In addition to his many accolades, John is also (technically) a professional comedy writer. Ask him about his original joke which was printed in an international monthly publication. He won the monthly contest & received a cash prize of $50.
