was there 1959 to 1961. worked out in the antenna field tuning receivers.
Served at Sidi from 2/69 to 6/70. Was in Charlie Section CTO.
Charlie Section and others who served with people at a second duty station have been having a reunion every two years since 2004. Also, CTs think about joining NVCA--just google it.
Served at Sidi fm 4/70 to 4/71 Communications Technician "O" brancher. Loved the country..good times especially downtown at the "REX"...Would like to hear fm the old gang..Davis, Murphy, Diller, Peine, Claybrook and others....
I was there from 1966 to 1967. I was a CTR just out of school at Corry Field, Pensocola, Fla. We had some great times at the Fleet Club. My good friend Chester Dore' and I traveled all over Europe when we left there. He went to Rota and I went to Bremerhaven, Germany.
While I was not actually stationed there, I was sent there TAD twice. Interesting culture back then (1966-1967)
I served there from 7/76 to 7/77... I was at that time a RM1 but was assigned to base security for 9 months then worked in Tech Control. Loved Morocco and spent my off time touring the country in a Land Rover.
My year in Sidi was a hard lonely time. I had only been married for three months before I arrived and my wife and forthcoming child were back in New Orleans. Although I met many good shipmates while there and saw some really nice places, my loneliness almost consumed me. I was in charge of a group of Radiomen that were sent to Rota, Spain, TAD for about 8 weeks and it was a very good break from Sidi.
