| Message | I was in the Navy from 1980-86. I attended Basic Training (Company 228) and Radioman 'A' school in San Diego, California. I was a Radioman third class stationed aboard the USS Kansas City (AOR 3) out of Naval Air Station, Alameda, California 1981-83. I would of probably enjoyed being a Radioman aboard the K.C. if I would of worked with more matured co-workers. But I enjoyed visiting different countries. |

| Message | Boot camp 65, Great Lakes. 'A' school 65, Bainbridge, then on to Guam till Dec. 67. Then the Hancock CVA-19 until 2-69. I really liked working the 'bug' while on Guam and became pretty good. I still remember working the USNS Card as he was the fastest in the Pacific and there were only a few of us who could handle him. Anyone out there that remembers me, give me a shout via e-mail. |

| Message | I am compiling info on US Navy radio equipment and operations - just search on "US navy radio" to find the web site (the guestbook won't let me post the link). I am mainly concentrating on the 1950's-60's, but I keep adding older and newer stuff as I come across it. I'd appreciate any additions, corrections, photos, etc. thanks, Nick |
