Within the next week or so, Ezboard will transfer the museum forums to their Yuku board. You need to do nothing.

When you arrive at this url, Ezboard will automatically transfer you to the new web address. Just make note of the new link.

One new feature I know pstickle will thoroughly enjoy is no longer will we be limited to 20 pages. Messages will no longer scroll off into oblivion unless moved back to the top.

Museum under new commander

feeds@yuku.com (Chakek) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 16:30:09 GMT

For all of those who haven't heard effective Oct 1, 2007 Jeff Hunt, formerly of the Nimitz Museum will be runing the museum.

Word I heard is that he has NO MILITARY EXPERIENCE, and has never served in anything but some reenactor group. They say that he has a degree in History, but for all of those who have been around and watched the museum grow know that you would understand the system better if you have served, especially in the Guard.

I feel that all will be lost. It is hard...

It is my understanding that this was the only Texas National Guard unit mobilized during the Vietnam War. I am told that they were mobilized but did not go any further than Fort Hood, Texas. Can anyone tell me more about this unit and if they were infact mobilzed and if so for how long, where they did their mobilization duty, etc. Thanks

I am trying to find out any info on my father Lewis Summerville. He was in the Texas Army National Guard 131st Field Artillery in WWII. He was a POW for about 3 years.

Museum Volunteers Needed

feeds@yuku.com (Gary Butler) — Mon, 01 Apr 2002 06:47:29 GMT
We are faced with a serious volunteer shortage, especially on Wednesdays and Fridays. As museum visitation gradually increases, as is currently happening, and the number of galleries increase, we now need to have a minimum of four volunteers on duty each day we are open. As we progress, that number will increase.

Anyone interested in spending one or two days a week working with the museum is requested to call (512) 782-5659 or (512) 782-5195 as soon as possible.

We are planning...

New Access Procedure For Visiting The Museum

feeds@yuku.com (Gary Butler) — Wed, 27 Mar 2002 06:34:21 GMT
Access to Camp Mabry for visiting The Texas Military Forces Museum has changed, effective 22 March 2002.

The method is to go to the Maintenance Drive gate, tell the MPs that you are visiting the museum, fill out the information on the form given out by the MP, receive a visitor pass and proceed to the museum. No prior arrangements are necessary, except for special tours (as in the past). Individuals with Military IDs do not require a pass.
