Tom,
When I arrived in July 1971, I was immediately placed in X-Division. Shortly thereafter, I was internally moved to Security Department. I didn't get to work in the COMMSTA until January 1972 timeframe. I don't remember which section I initially reported to, but RM1 Dale Lott was the senior first class (Watch Traffic Chief?) responsible to the Communications Watch Officer (a Chief Radioman).
I wasn't there for the flood, but I heard a lot of horror stories.
I'm Bill Karr. My son Doug created this site and I help him out a bit. We hope that you enjoy it.
