I'm looking for anyone who knew my dad, RMCS Glenn Cook. Stationed at Gitmo 1977-1980-- Cheltenham, MD 1981-1982--NOB, Little Creek, Oceana and Dam Neck, VA 1983-1993. These are the dates and places the best that I can recall. I'm especially looking for someone me and my sister called "Roger the Turkey". He was stationed in Cuba the same time as us and was a good friend to my dad and our family. The last time I remember seeing him was around 1985 when he visited us in Va Beach. He was great at building forts with couch cushions. Dad has since passed away and my mom can't remember Roger's last name. Even if you aren't Roger the Turkey and remember stories about my dad, I'd love to hear them. krissichefmeyers@yahoo.com

Anyone know whereabouts of RM1 JIM McNEILL who was on USS Peterson fm 77-80 or thereabouts? He was from Pittsburgh and may have returned to that area. Don't know if he stayed in long enough to retire or ever made CPO...

RTTUZYUW RUYNSAA0001 0010001-UUUU--RHSSSRA. ZNY UUUUU R 010101Z JAN 1978 FM NAVCOMMSTA YOKOSUKA JA TO NAVTELSYSIC CHELTENHAM MD BT UNCLAS //02300// Ha! Remember this stuff? ...I was kinda a young knucklehead back then but, eventually, I grew up and I guess you could say I got serious. Suppose we've all been there to some degree. Anyway, got out and started testing AUTODIN terminals (RIXT, SRT, MDT, etc.) and installing them at all the COMMSTA's around the world, and a few ships too. Missing all of my NAVCOMMSTA Yokosuka JA friends from 77-79, and so many of the RMs I met traveling around. Would love to hear how you're doing. I hope you're doing well. God bless you all.

RM2(SW) USN, 1984 to 1988. I was stationed onboard Commander, Middle East Force ('85 - '86)as a Stinger Missle Gunner and struck RM and made RM3 in '86. After CMEF I shipped off to RM "A" School (Class 860322) at SSC San Diego. I was stationed onboard the USS Iwo Jima (LPH-2)in CR Division, made RM2, and worked in Technical Control during MARG 1-88. After active duty I worked at Naval Air Station South Weymouth MA as a civilian "GS" Tape Ape and then promoted to Comsec Custodian until the base ZKJ from BRACC 3.
