for this," Student Vice Presiden
Shine Brooks said. "This is dig

time"
In addition to protecting th<

By the Associated Press
It was business as usual at Shaw Air Force
Base Thursday amid reports that the U.S. may
deploy a fighter wing to the Middle East.
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. Horner led

the returns were scheduled before Bush's threat 1

Her husband, Sgt. Dan Kenney, was among
the first to be sent to the Gulf last year.
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.
