I graduated A school at NATTC Memphis, TN in July 1966 as an 'AT' and received orders to VA-125 at Lemoore for A4-E familiarization school.  Left Lemoore October 18, 1966 for Tachikawa, Japan enroute to VA-163 which was out in the Gulf of Tonkin.

  • AO "A" school at Jacksonville Fl. (last class).

    Station at NAS Lemoore in 1974 -1977. Squadron VA-153.

    Did two WestPacs and one Med cruise.

    Sailed on the USS Oriskany and the USS FDR.

    I wish I would have stayed in.

  • I first arrived and was in VA-125 for A4 training.  I had orders to VA-146, but was changed to VA-94.  I spent a lot of time deployed either on workups or shipboard.  During that time it was always up in the air as to how long we would be on WesPac.  I know it was hot, I was hardly there in winter.

  • My first duty station was there in 1961 with the VA-163 Saints.

    Thanks for the Valley Fever.  LOL
