You were with Det Bravo, I assume, out of NAS Jax? Do you know where I could contact any of the older ETs/ACs. I spent 0 years as a GCA tech (ET-1577) '64 - '73. Specifically, I am looking for an ETC Coffman, also a 1577. He made Chief on the Ice around 1969. He & I went thru CPN-4A maint school together.
