- Hi Barb, welcome to VFA 22. My son Michael is an AT2. He is the night check out supervisor. He just got transfered to Lemoore and this is his second tour on the RR. He was in Oceana for 8 years prior to this. I will give you his name and maybe your son can look him up, AT2 Michael Salinas. Keep me posted if he finds him.
Take care
