Where did you exchange to? 

There was no AF airlift available in 1966 so the regions (apparently) were on the hook to do something. In Pacific Region we went to San Francisco (never was sure why) and spent a few days at Vandenburg AFB.

I remember that. There was a lot of confusion, as it was a pretty last minute cancelling of the airlift.

Participants in the "alternate IACE" were awarded the IACE ribbon, as it wasn't their fault that it fell through and they did do SOMETHING. Many of them were "timed out" and couldn't go on IACE the following year. Among the participants were the first female cadets to earn the IACE ribbon.
