    Circa 1965>1967 I was stationed in Sidi Yihia Morocco at the Nav Comm Sta some distance out into the country side from the port of Kinetra. Lived on the economy in the city ,, homes rented for 50 a month...On Base was resposible for No-break generation units and chill water A/C for the block house where the RM & CT's were resting in the COOL air while us Snipes took care of their needs out in the heat. LOL..

    LOL, I was in the Full Time Support Program and there were no Radiomen billets in the program at that time. They sent me through the YN A School as an RM2.

    OK, you're excused. But converting from RM to YN? Did the operation hurt? ;-)

    Hey there RMCS, this photo was taken after I got out of the Navy in 1979 and was in the Reserves as a YN.

    Hey, Michael McWatt. I was RMCS on USS Savannah AOR-4 when you were on Milwaukee. Pessed us off when you were late relieving us in the Med!

    And another damned thing, why you're not wearing sparks?

    RM from 1958 to retirement in 1979. CW to SATCOMM and everything inbetween.

    I first came in as an OT then on to RM "A" school in San Diego, late 1980. Went to USS Forrestal, then on to USS Sellers (1983). My book tells a very detailed story of my time in both radio shacks and covers very much about the Radioman rating and the things we did. My book was cleared by CNO prior to it being published.
