...and if he had, it would be in his records (which have already
been
released), clearly and unequivocally.

Since it is not, it's hogwash.

Why would an ANG unit, in the old Air Defense Command, have a SIOP
comitment?

I think the storys hogwash from that agle.


They may have had the old Genie rockets ?

IIRC the F-101's here "may" have had them at one point.

Nah, his unit was never active as an interceptor unit with the F-101;
purely
a training role. Its last alert duties were performed in the Deuce.



I thought the F102's were wired for Geine also ?

Nope. They carried the AIM 4 and AIM 26 model Falcons, but no Genies. Genie
was carried by (IIRC) F-89, F-101, and F-106; ISTR hearing that some F-4's
were also wired to carry them, but never did operationally as the other's
did. The Deuce's nuclear round was the AIM 26A, which was completely retired
from service by 1972.
