I think that Sqd. that had the E2C was VAW-12. They had the old Willy Fudds E1B when I was there. I was in Hanger LP-14 in the Paraloft just prior to Getting out. Went to Boot in Great Lakes. Then Jump School in Lakehurst NJ. Right to Norfolk for a few months then shipped out for parts unknown for 4 months. then to Little Creek, Then to El Centro, Then to Lakehurst, Then to Norfolk. THE END.
