Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico

SSgt Moulton arrived in Cannon AFB in  New Mexico and began working with the 523d Fighter SQ Crusaders. He was responsible to weapons superintendent for all armament systems maintenance and loading operations on 20 523d Aircraft Maintenance Unit F-16C/D aircraft valued in excess of 700 million! 

The 523d Fighter Squadron was known as the "Crusaders". Its primary mission was to maintain a continuous ability to rapidly deploy and support American unified commanders worldwide with day or night F-16C combat operations. They are committed to decisively employing the F-16C throughout the entire spectrum of offensive and defensive missions, including air interdiction, close air support, forward air control, strategic attack and counter-air, through employing a wide variety of conventional, precision-guided and nuclear weapons.



 I am amazed at these aircraft! It truly takes a team to ensure they are ready to defend anytime, 24/7!

Moulton Family is Growing

My Brother, MSgt Moulton was already pretty amazing with his accomplishments in SD. I watched him from a distance. We both moved on with our life and families.  I never imagined him having three children so quickly but remember it get's cold in South Dakota.

We all expected Jason with this newly married couple but Krystal and Taylor arrived pretty close together.

We hear about the sacrifices a military family goes through when a husband, dad, brother, and/or uncle goes into the US Arm Services.From a distance I recognized my brothers family had several characteristics and believe it played a huge impacted on were his family is today.

His family had a sense of humor. Several times stories were told about when he left for duty how Jason would be in the man of the house and how Lyndy turned into a loving mom and the mean dad! LOL! The stories they tell!

Now let's talk passionate! His family back up him and his decision to server his county! It lead every family member to help when they could, offer a kind word, or just a hug! This family was STRONG!

Jason, Krystal, and Taylor are amazing! They changed schools, deal with long separations from love ones, and did not have a dad at all their milestones. These children were strong, brave and adaptable on demand!

People often forget about the extended family members who serve too. The grandparents who open their homes to grand kids during deployments, the sisters and brothers who called, a host of uncles, aunts and cousins offering their unwavering support.

In the end MSgt Moulton served everyday, his family supported was up and above requirement! IT takes a community!

In the end we need to thanks him and his family for all they sacrificed... and every military family!

Daddy's Little Girl

May 16 1994 a little Girl was born and her name was Krystal Danette Moulton. That little girl was me. I was born on my daddy's 25th birthday. I came into this world at 11:11 pm and weighting 7 lb 7 oz. Some may say I am a lucky baby but I say I am daddy's little girl. Sharing a birthday with my dad is a very special thing and it had it benefits like i can never forget his birthday. If I would have been born 49 minutes later I would have not shared my fathers birthday. From the moment I was born i had my little baby hand wrapped around his finger and i still do today. My dad has been a hero and an inspiration to me every step of the way. When I look back on my childhood I don't think about all the years he was gone I think about all the moments we shared. My dad has and will always be my rock. He inspires me to do great things in my life like joining the Air Force and following in his footsteps. My dad has fought so hard to keep this country free and I am proud to call him not just father or daddy but my hero.

My parents told me and my older brother Jason a lot of stories about when I first came home. My favorite one was how Jason saw me sleeping in my swing bed thing and he pushed me out and I tumbled on the ground. I was perfectly fine just a little upset.  Little did my parents know that my brother and I would team up against our new baby brother in a couple of years.

I love You Daddy

Ellsworth Air Force Base

MSgt Moulton moved to his next base in August of 93 in South Dakota. We were all worried about the winters but a chance to visit Mount Rushmore! Maybe not so bad! Good news is before leaving Korean he pick up Sr Airman!

He was stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base until 1999. Ellsworth AFB is 10 miles east of Rapid City, S.D. The relationship between Ellsworth and Rapid City is exemplified by Ellsworth's main entrance, constructed to symbolize a B-52 Stratofortress, one of the aircraft formerly flown by the 28th Bomb Wing. It was a gift from the citizens of Rapid City. The mission of the 28th Bomb Wing is to deliver decisive combat power for global response. The 28th Bomb Wing is divided into the 28th Operations Group, the 28th Maintenance Group, the 28th Mission Support Group and the 28th Medical Group.

Ellsworth's population of approximately 8,000 includes military members, family members and civilian employees. The base's sister city, Rapid City, has a population of just more than 62,500. There are also about 3,800 military retirees in Western South Dakota.

MSgtt Moulton traveled from Texas with his family and he settled in 37th  Bomb Squadron and join 77th Bomb Squadron during this time a Ellsworth AFB.

The squadron is one of the oldest in the United States Air Force, its origins dating to 13 June 1917, being organized at Kelly Field, Texas. The squadron deployed to England as part of the American Expeditionary Force during World War I. The squadron saw combat during World War II, and later became part of the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the Cold War.

He worked on the B1B.The Air Force selected Ellsworth as the exclusive location from which to conduct a Congressionally mandated operational readiness assessment of the B-1B, known locally as "Dakota Challenge." After six months of hard work, under both peacetime and simulated wartime conditions, the 28 BW and Ellsworth, with extensive personnel, technical and logistical support from sister B-1 units at McConnell, Grand Forks and Dyess Air Force Bases, passed the test "with flying colors"; and proved the B-1 to be a reliable and capable weapons system; the mainstay of America's heavy bomber fleet for years to come.

In 1995, the 99th Wing departed Ellsworth for a new assignment at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, although a small contingent formerly attached to that wing remained behind to continue bomber tactics training and radar munitions scoring from a handful of dispersed detachments. The year also saw the inactivation of one of Ellsworth’s oldest units, the 77th Bomb Squadron. While the unit (as an administrative entity) departed to save Air Force dollars for development of new follow-on B-1 munitions, the organization’s aircraft remained at Ellsworth (in a flying reserve status) under the able care of its sister unit, the 37th Bomb Squadron.
