Other Comments:

After retiring from the Navy I landed a job on Diego Garcia BIOT, through a good friend of mine Don Tetley, he was ready to leave and suggested me for his replacement. 1986-1989. I was the Food Service Manager in charge of the Galley and Multa Million Dollar Warehouse where Fresh, Frozen and Dry Provisions were stored. I provided for the Galley, Clubs, Prepositioning Ships, American Battle Groups, and American Embassies in Mauritius and Somalia. Every so often I would have to catch a C-141 and fly to the Embassies to check on there provisions to see if they were happy with what they were receiving and if there was anything I could do to improve service. It was usually during a time when they were drawing Provisions. I really liked this job, but it came to an end when a British firm got the contract. So I went to Saudi Arabia for three years to join my friend again, Don Tetley. Which is another story
