I was attached to the Squadron from December of 1967 until I made third class Electronics Technician in 1968 and was transfered to Ground Electronics at Barbers Point.

While attached with VC-1, I worked for Squadron Leading Chief Petty Officer, Chief Duffey. He was a credit to the uniform and taught me most of my Navy history and traditions. He also introduced me to reading pocket novels (Mike Hammer).

Flew with my Division Officer several times while attached to the squadron and got my first introduction to flying with him, flying right seat as co-piolt in the old "Stuff". Working for the leading chief also gave me the honor of being the daytime Assistant Squadron Duty Officer (ASDO).
