Boot camp 65, Great Lakes. 'A' school 65, Bainbridge, then on to Guam till Dec. 67. Then the Hancock CVA-19 until 2-69.
I really liked working the 'bug' while on Guam and became pretty good. I still remember working the USNS Card as he was the fastest in the Pacific and there were only a few of us who could handle him.
Anyone out there that remembers me, give me a shout via e-mail.

I am compiling info on US Navy radio equipment and operations - just search on "US navy radio" to find the web site (the guestbook won't let me post the link). I am mainly concentrating on the 1950's-60's, but I keep adding older and newer stuff as I come across it. I'd appreciate any additions, corrections, photos, etc. thanks, Nick

Graduated RM "A" School 1970. Stationed for 4 years at NAVCOMMSTA Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Got out in 1973, used the old GI Bill to get my Masters degree. Re-entered the service in 1976 and served over 2 years USS Mount Whitney out of Norfolk VA. Cross-rated to CTA and left the service in 1990 (did not retire)as a CTA1. Mostly remember my first tour as being the most memorable as far as location and the guys I worked with were superb.
