  • I guess every Medical person in the Navy one way or another belongs to BUMED, but now that i have served for 25 years, retired, and now a Civil Servant, I am a member of Bethesda Detachment, BUMED.
  • 1986 - 1990. 543-A, Asst Program Manager for Deployable Medical Systems.  Worked in the old observatory.
