Information officers at Shaw said Thursday they were unaware of any change in their alert status because of President Bush's threat to send warplanes to the Persian Gulf. Bush said he would send jets to the region to escort United Nations helicopters as they search for hidden Iraqi nuclear weapons. Master Sgt. Ginny Narsete, a 9th Air Force information officer at Shaw, said, "We haven't been placed on alert as far as we know." She said no one had been designated to deploy anywhere. Some news media organizations had reported Shaw was on alert Wednesday. The wing is part of the 9th Air Force, which Gen. Charles A. Horner commands.

Leandra Marburger spent the day wondering whether her husband, CapL Timothy Marburger, would be leaving again. He returned home in Vlarch from almost eight months in the Gulf. "He knew several days before he left last ime that he was going, but he couldn't tell me. t've got to trust that he would tell me if I should be concerned. Right now, I'm just not going to worry about it," she said. Units from the Sumter base were among the first deployed in August 1990 to counter Iraq's nvasion of Kuwait. About 50 F-16 fighter jets and more than ?,000 troops went from Shaw to the region. A landful of Shaw personnel remain in the gulf, fhe base's F-16s and crews began returning in viarcn. At other South Carolina air bases, there was tlso no word of any changes. "So far, we have heard nothing from our nornal military channels, and we've been told to say operations are normal," said Senior Airman ^eslie Hart, a Charleston Air Force Base spokeswoman. Myrtle Beach Air Force Base, which houses squadrons of A-10 Warthogs, wasn't gearing up or a return to the Gulf, according to officials. Fighter jets from McEntire Air National juard Base near Eastover aren't expected to reurn to the Gulf "unless it gets to be a big-scale hing again," said CapL Les Carroll.
