Best Moment I enjoyed my short tour on RONCADOR and had some good times there. I learned a lot about the Naval Reserve Programs from the active duty Station Keepers at the Naval Reserve Center. I was kept busy taking care of our Reserve Training Submarine Administrative/Personnel Records and Reports while also maintaining the personnel records and administrative duties for two Submarine Reserve Divisions Divisions there. The only down side was that I had to be there all weekend once each month and one night each week to assist the reserve divisions.
Worst Moment After only completing 18 months of his 48 month shore tour on RONCADOR, Bob received a set of message orders to the USS SEAWOLF (SSN 575) in Groton, CT because they lost their YNC due to injuries in a bar fight in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. He had to report within nine days with no leave authorized because SEAWOLF was scheduled to depart on a five month MED Cruise five days after I reported aboard.
