313th ASA Ft Bragg, John Mastro...72-73/265th RRC 71/72 Great tribute to your dad.

Yep Dad was with the 313th out of FT Bragg in 62' and 63' but spent most of his time in Key West for the Cuban Missile Crisis. He spent a lot of time in the back of an M37 with a AN/MLQ-24 monitoring Cuban radar. Here are a few pics from that time period.
