RTC Great Lakes Jan 71 thru March or April 71. Was RPOC (RCPO?) Company 020 - 1971. CC was BMCS Fred Hutchins, a great guy. It was an experience to say the least. To this day people do not understand tying bedsheets to a clothesline in -20 degrees with a piece of rope called a clothes stop. I still don't get it either.
From GL to SD for RM "A" school, then 2 years at FOCCPAC at the Kunia tunnel on Oahu, HI. Finished on the USS Bainbridge DLGN-25. Enjoyed one Westpac, 2 trips across the equator.
Met some wonderful folks in the Navy.
I was in Great Lakes in Sept to December 1971. co. 298... cc cpo Jack Matthews. Fire training school was the best. Until you screwed up anyway. Then you had a hose down the back of your wet suit and jumped up and down while singing Anchors Away. Never had the pleasure but saw several other guys do it.
