"Pushed six conmpanies forom 1986 - 1989. Wasn';t a bad tour once I accepted the fact I was there even if I didn't want to go there.
Made SCPO there and probably a factor in making MCPO later on.

Pushed six recruit companies through training, 1986 - 1989. Wasn't a bad tour of duty once I accepted the fact that I was sent there, and not at my choice. Made E-8 while there and it probably was a factor in making MCPO.Tom TotorisUSN Ret.

Was assigned to Canon one weekend a month on the Gold Crew (USNR) in 1976. In July we made a Bi-Centennial cruise up to Monterey, San Francisco and San Luis Obispo. It was a great liberty trip.
