Hi Gerry!!
Yeah, I was one of those crazies running around the f/d chasin our A-7s. Working the CATs, etc.
I stayed in for the MED cruise in '74-75 the got out in April '75. Tried to get orders to Rota,Spain, but
they said no. I said "bye!" Kind of miss all of that(once in a while) lol
Gerald, I remember Hartig but I don't know if I remember him from VP 66 or Rota there in Atlanta. I was a SAR and worked with some great Sailors and Marines out of the airframes shop. We worked on just about any aircraft. I don't remember anyone in the picture though. Were they all TARS. I managed to serve 14 years before a stroke ended my military career.
