My formal bootcamp portrait is on my homepage in my photos. I'm not wearing my own uniform, in those days they just slapped a jacket on you that had an attached shirt and tie that velcroed up the back. We didn't even get a flag in the background.

I'll have to see if I can scan any of my botcamp pics of off the Keel. They're a hoot.

I could tell you what it did, but then I'd have to kill you. (No, really, it wasn't ever classified or I'd not have it up here). I was in troubleshooting mode, not actually fixing things. You don't fix things in A school, you just find the problems. At least, that's the way instruction used to run.

URA-17, real vintage stuff there. Converter for TTY signals off radio receivers. Basically.

Cool pics - I don't have any pics of me when I was in. Too much security. But I do remember a funny incident when a Navy photographer was taking a picture one day for a Navy newspaper article. No one noticed that one of our code wheels was in the background. Afterwards notices had to be sent out to all ships, squadrons, and everyone else in the fleet that the codes all had to be ditch and all new ones used. I guess that's one of the reasons why no cameras were ever permitted in the building!!!!

My son just finished his A school for IS in Virginia. 2nd in his class!!! No he waits to pick out orders and go to C school!!

That watch is most assuredly a hazard. Good thing the scope wasn't plugged in. Here's one during A school, yeah, state of the art!

In the BE/E maintenance shop. This is when I was on hold between mod sections. They call it ATT now. That was just a pose, I'd not learned enough about electronics to be troubleshooting an oscope! Although I did learn to use a multimeter and how to solder.

That;s funny, Vicki!

Our friend joined as an ET. While he as in A school, a visiting detailer came through, a Master Chief. He listened to our friend, how he'd joined and became an ET because of me and my hubby. Well, he ended up with orders to the Dubuque, the same ship my hubby has been on in Japan. As far as we can figure, the Master Chief once worked for my hubby! but our friend can't remember the guy's name.

Another "small world" story: The cable guy came to hook up a new modem. He spotted hubby's Navy memory box and realized, he knew him! Hubby had been the cable guy's LPO on the Dubuque. I flipped open the cellphone and had him call to say hi. So weird, neither of them are from here, but they both ended up here.

I got mine for my 40th birthday. You know how impulsive us kids can be.
