Not including boot camp, I spent 13 months at Great Lakes attending ET, Electronic Technician, schools. I majored in radar. Our sister class majored in communications. All of us in radar school got orders to communication stations after graduation. All in communications got ship assignments. My first assignment was in the comm station at Annapolis, Maryland. While there I went to schools again, this time for communications. Two years there and then four years at the communication station in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. From there I spent 6 months at Millington, Tennessee, outside of Memphis, attending more radar schools. Then it was off to a Naval Air Station at Beeville, Texas. Ten years in the Navy and decided to get out. Lynn was ready to get out so our two children could settle down. That's the short of it at this time.
