  • I was at NATTC Memphis from August 26, 1973 to November 3, 1973.
    I attended P-School, and A-School for ADR (Aviation Machinist Mate Reciprocating).
    My short time there I remember the "Roach Coach", beer machines in the barracks, pizza delivery to the barracks. Funny how all remember is eating and drinking. I also put in for "Operation Deep Freeze" in Antartica but was told they didn't need any ADR's.
    When filling out my "Dream Sheet" at A-School, I put down Hawaii and my Instructors laughed say you'll get it because everyone there wants to leave Hawaii. I wasn't in Hawaii too long before I found out that was true and why. LOL

  • I was at NATTC Memphis from Apr/May 1970 until Aug 1971.  Went to P-School, A-School (Aviation Fire Control Tech), and got half-way through AFTA before I had an accident that put me in the hospital for two months,  Upon hospital discharge, was reassigned as a brigade yeoman for brigade maintenance until I was medically re-evaluated six months later at which time I received an honorable medical discharge.  Anybody out there remember me?!

NATTC Memphis tour of duty not once, but twice.

Hello Shipmates.  I attended AFUNP school and aviation electronics A school after San Diego boot camp the summer of 1970.  I recall the thousands of sailors and marines there and settling into a routine of duty and school.  It was odd as I didn't ask for this schooling, but somehow ended up in aviation and electronics.  I soon found my niche, and I guess the Navy somehow knew my destiny.  I enjoyed the challenge and the less restrictive life at NATTC.  I still recall that getting off base…

      Hello fellow airmen and shipmates. Went thru basic at San Diego & arrived at Memphis NATTC in late summer of 1966. I was assigned to MOC company (maint, operational, clerical). Worked in the admin building delivering in house mail all over the north and south bases.                                                    Those of us in MOC stayed in the old WW2 style barracks & ate at the Marine chow hall. While there I witnessed the old PX building burning to the ground. never had to stand…
