Memories For This Unit
Worst Moment Really did not care for this command. NR CV-62 had just transferred all E-5 and below out of the Air Dept to VR-48. The command at VR-48 didn"t have anywhere to put us, so it was cleaning detail every drill weekend. As I was not an obligore, I choose to transfer to the inactive reserves.
