"I taught MM/BT "A" School from 1983-1987, it was quite ironic I met one of my former students who is a fellow employee at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. Despite the cold winters and all the marching it was one of my favorite commands."
My whole family was Navy. Dad retired in 1963 with 26 yrs. active as a ADJC then served 4 years in the inactive reserve for a total of 30 yrs. My middle brother served a hitch during Viet Nam and I did a hitch during the Cold War. Had an Uncle and a Cousin both retire as Lt. Commanders. My cousin was a "Mustang". Worked his way up. We are a Proud Navy Family.
