"Ha! Got both you boots beat! ;-) Started RTC in 11/56, graduated 2/57, Co 554 BM1 Conselyea was the RCPO and a damn good one! Will never forget Rosecrans and riding the bus back and forth to downtown. What memories!"
"Can an old retired RM sign in here for just a bit? First, didn't know the SM rating was cut in 2003. RM's were integrated into IS's after I retired in '95. Can remember the guys from the bridge "back in the day." RM's and SM's were good buddies…"
"Voted, then looked at results. Looks like we're back in 1st place!"
"Congrats to the Slater and the vets that voted for her!!"
"Thanks Chief! Been a while, bout 18 years, since I've been "Welcome Aboard" anywhere! ;-)"
RTC, co 554, 11/56 thru 1/57. Then RM "A" school, graduated 16 Aug 57. Loved NTC and Broadway downtown!

Don't remember a lot from Boot....I remember taking test to qualify for an "A" school but don't remember what it was called. Funny Story...Three of us went in together from High School in Texas. Two of us qualified to a school. The other guy was in front of me in the line to ask for a particular school and he asked for ET. I was next in line and asked for ET also. He had , however, gotten the last available billet so the guy asked me if I would like to go to Fire Control Schoo.. I said hell no, I didn't like the fire fighting business . The first class just looked at me and said how about Radio School and I said OK. Glad I did...loved it. I too was lucky to have had typing in high school.
Patrick I am glad I didn't have to copy with pen and paper back in "63. ha
Good to see another RM on this site. We have a Naval Communications site, but no activity on it, I believe, since I posted. and the post are mostly IT guys and I can't relate to much of that. Just tooo darn old these days...
