Ha! smilie Remember this stuff? smilie
...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.

MessageRM2(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.

MessageRM "A" School, Bainbridge (1967)
USS Point Defiance, LSD-31 (1967 - 1970) (RM2)

This was one job that I actually enjoyed! Loved the "CW" too! I carried the interest over into my civilian life by becoming a licensed "ham" operator....still at it today and having fun! It was a great experience for me being an RM.
