I also attended MM "A" School and probably lived in the same barracks as Paul, but I was there from Sept. '65 to Dec. '65. I couldn't understand why we shifted to blues shortly after I arrived, but the next week it snowed and then there was always snow on the ground the rest of the time I was there. I returned to MM "A" School, only it was then called Propulsion Engineering School (PE School) in June '74 as an Instructor. I started in the 600 PSI Hot Plant then became a Plank Owner in the 1200 PSI Hot Plant. I remember that tour well, as I made Chief while I was there. I loved the duty but hated the weather, both in the winter (too cold and too white) and summer (just too hot and humid).

The TD detachment at SSC/NTC Great Lakes 1978-1979

In 1978 I was a TD-2 assigned with the TD detachment at the Gas Turbine School where the Perry Class FFG engine room trainer was located. The TD's were required to check the locks on every door in the building and make sure all of the interior lights were off after hours. I received training by DEC on the DEC PDP 11/70 msin frame computer that operated the GE trainer and the new trainees would go on 12 hour simulated cruises using that trainer to simulate problems the crews might experience…
