I was a CYN, def a 4 year rate in the 60's. Boot at Great Lakes, CYN "A" school in Norva, 1 year at NavCommSta Iceland, 6 weeks on board the Howard W. Gilmore and the rest of my enlistment at ComSubLant Communications. Passed the RM2 exam, so I was almost a RM (not enough time left to advance)! LOL! I find it rather a quirk of fate that a RM in the Navy today is really a Database Admin of sorts and I've been in the computer business for more years than I care to mention. My Chief of the watch in Iceland was a former TE rate as well! So I've touched them all I guess. Happy Veterans Day coming up in couple weeks, to all!!

My book is out and it covers 1981-83 time period and discusses a lot about our rating. It's been cleared by CNO office for publication. I thought it would be interesting for some of you to check out. Since I can't submit the link look up the title:
A Squid's Story: My First Four Years in the United States Navy. It can be found at lulu.com
I am open for comments and/or interviews:
