I was a Missile Technician for 12 years, got my commission through OCS in 1979 and retired from the Navy in 1997 as Supply Officer, Subase, Bangor, WA. I then joined the Oak Harbor School District as an Operations Director and finished 16 years in Education before ending my formal working career. I have lived in Washington since May 1990.

Best Moment Dinners in the wardroom making XO crazy. Dependent cruise from Groton. DASO operations off the coast of Florida
Worst Moment Worst SMI in ComSubLant History, flooding during sea trials. Receiving thousands of urine sample bottles at the Cape. Losing many engineering PO's accused of being gay.

Other Memories Funny: Night baker put bread dough down the officer's toilet while in the Med and it did not go all the way to the sanitary tank. One officer experienced something green rising from the toilet as he tried to flush the toilet. We had all hands on deck before we figured out it was not a monster in the sanitary tank but a dough ball my MS had tried to flush because he had put too much yeast in the dough and it had risen onto the floor of the galley while he was watching midnight movies with the crew and not watching his dough. It was funny at the time but I received a lot of ribbing from other officers about my monster in the Officer's Head.
