There wasn't a hijack @Mike CHS so don't worry about that and it was well worth finding out that you and greybeard was out there during the same time as me. It always amazes me as how just Small this world truly is.

 

[Mike CHS]

Thanks and it is a small world. I went to school in Brunswick Georgia in a blimp hangar in 1969.

I first did instructor duty at our new school in 1981 and the second tour starting in 1988. When I retired I took a job as lead to move all of the trainers from our schools from Memphis to Pensacola.

That's amazing! My oldest daughter graduated from Millington High in '96. So, with her playing sports, we were in Millington daily.
Did ya ever play golf at Edmund Orgil?

 

[Mike CHS]

I did play there before I had back surgery but none after that.

Well ya know Bay, that could be possible too. My Mom's dad was shot in a hunting accident when she was 8mnths old, and we never had any contact with his family....so, there is a quarter of our Kin we have never known. Heck, we might even be Kin....ya never Know.
I'd trade y'all for some of the Kin I have met too.

Went through "A" school in Millington in '76' Left there in Dec headed to Jax, FL for flight training. Never went back. Did several training tours but they were in Norfolk, VA. and Mayport, FL.

Well LS I should've known ya would have been there too. I graduated High school in '75, ya must have been in one of the groups that put the Fire out on the jet there around noon each day. I also used to watch the different groups Marching to the Mess Hall too.

Graduated high school in 75 also. Nah... I wasn't a fire fighter, I went through training in a classroom across the highway from the air strip... At that time all basic aviation rate training for the Navy was done there in Millington. So it didn't matter if you were going to be an aviation electrician, structural mechanic, jet engine mechanic, or like me an airedale/brown shoe/in flight tech of sorts, it all started there. First with A FUN P school which tested for basic aptitude for the job you'd be doing and aviation in general. Then to "A" school where we received the basic training in our specific rating (job). It was the first stop in training after boot camp, then after initial training there, it was off to our "C" school where ever that might be.

I was stationed at Pensacola Nav Sta 1975- 1976, till I got orders to GLNTC, then went to SD and on to Subic and caught DD964 for a westpac excursion.
'74-75 I was at GTMO. My 2 years at GTMO was 'interesting'.
