I was one of the senior counselors at the Naval Drug Rehabilitation Center (NDRC) located at NAS Miramar CA from 1978 until I left the Navy September 19, 1980.

I was an instructor for the Aviation Physiology Training Unit, supporting Fightertown, USA and TopGun candidates. Our curriculum included instruction in the physiological aspects of flight, ejection seats, night vision and water survival. Additional duties included supporting the flight line as a member of the rescue ambulance team.

I was there

I was stationed at VF126 June 78-Nov 80, Nas Miramar OpDet Nove 80-Aug 83 and VAW-110 Aug 83-Nov 85. A long time ago but fond memories. My daughter Alexis was born while I was at NAS (she was well known there) and my son Keith was born while I was stationed at VAW-110.
