Where were you or your family stationed?
RTC/NTC San Diego, NATTC Memphis, VAQ-132 deployed on CVN-69 out of NAS Whidbey Island.
June 1, 1982, I started Navy Boot Camp at RTC NTC San Diego. Push ups, ten mile Fat Squad runs, four Marching Parties, two Short Tours, a Set Back, a Division Mast, and a Captain's Mast!
My first company commander was a Filipino named Chief Abarantos. Then I was set back and had a Senior Chief Bates. My Company number is lost in time. Anyone know it?

Dave, I don't know how you forgot your company number. Do you still have your Boot camp annual? it's like a high school yearbook for recruits. it's called the "Anchor" If you do you can find it in there. Otherwise there's always internet search using the time frame.
Good Luck
