Seved as Ripper CMC from 12-88 thru 7-90. Made my last cruise on the Forrestal with Cdr Bob Kimmel as CO of the squadron. He allowed me to be the CMC I knew I could be, Thanks.
My tour of duty on the Coral Sea began in Nov. 1986 and ended in Nov.1988. I was originally assigned to the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department as the Leading Chief. I enjoyed the job, worked with some great Officers, Chiefs and Sailors.…
I had the great honor and pleasure of being the CMC for two years, 7-90 thru 9-92. Retired there in 92. Great duty because of great people.
Co 426, July 1964 through Nov 1964. Learned things and words I'd never dreamed of.
