  • I was stationed at the Security department 1986-1990.  Saw alot and learned alot there....It was a great experience....

  • Worked at the LOX Farm there during the Gulf War (1990-1993). Made MM1 while I was stationed there and also earned my EAWS there as a blackshoe. One of my most favorite commands of my career.
  • During 2 MED cruises whenever we hit a port in Sicily I would take the train to Sigonella for american beer.
  • I was stationed in Sunny Sig. when it was a NAF in 1972.  It was a good time when the things were rough.  I had an apartment in Mota, that was the low rent district, big time people moved higher up the mountain,  The AO shop was just outside NAF 2; memories.
