Where were you or your family stationed?
Stationed all over the place. Yokosuka Japan, on the USS Midway (CV-41) 1980-82, Fleet Ocean Surveillance Information Facility (FOSIF) Rota, Spain 82-85, Commander Task Group 168.3 (EURFAST) Naples, Italy, 85-87, then FOSIF Westpac, Kamiseya, Japan, 1988-1991. Then I left active duty in APR1991. Took the summer off and affiliated with the U.S. Navy Reserves in the fall. I was part of the reserves until my retirement in Oct of 2004. I spent most of my time at the Joint Intelligence Center Pacific (JICPAC) unit detachment at Ft. Lewis, Army base in Washington State. I did spend at least 5 summers sometimes more on active duty there. Since I was self employed I could leave what I was doing for extended periods of time.
