| I was an PNSN when I reported to the Sharks in 1978 on deployment to the PI. Left there on the next deployment as a PN2 in early 81. As a Seaman, I remember walking around the maintenance spaces collecting the occasional late muster report. Typhoons in the PI. Outrigger canoes in HI. The day ABH2/1 Vance died due to a car crash. I remember wanting to connect with our Flight Crew by going on a TorpEx to Barking Sands. Administered several Advancement Exams, LDO, ECP Applications. Parties at the Barbers Beach cottages. After I left the squadron I transferred to various Classifier Billets in Ohio, Puerto Rico and Florida before serving my last 2 tours here at NAS Pensacola. After I retired as a Chief PN, I taught Mathematics for 7 years before landing this position as a Personnel/Pay Clerk at the PSD. Looking forward to hearing from you. |

| Greetings to all the "Sharks". Hard to believe more than 20 years have passed by. Assigned as QA and maintenance CPO and for the 6 years aboard and had my arm twisted to take orders to VC-5 at Cubi Point. Lots of good memories and friends made while preforming this arduous sea duty! LOL. I retired in 1996 from NATTC and now live in DeLand Fl. Thank you AFCM Don Swell, where ever you are! You ham operators can still find me on lower part of 20 metres most everyday. Sure glad to find this site......ALOHA |
