| 8/1991 - 1/1994: Network Administrator, Application Support
Group Chief, Senior Enlisted Advisor, Staff Duty Officer. This
picture is of me visiting the National Capitol, in the rotunda
(big domed room in the center) where is found a statue of

|
| 8/1988 - 8/1991: Maintenance Officer, ADP Officer, ADP Security
Officer, Staff Duty Officer at Commander, Patrol Wing Two, Naval Air
Station, Barbers Point, Hawaii. At the same time, I traveled with
the MOCC (Mobile Operations Control Center) to various places on
short notice to operate and repair computers and radio transmitter/
receivers, also, to brief and debrief ASW flight crews. The short
notice was not fun and prevented me from pursuing college, but the
places we went to were usually filled with adventure. Chief initiation
took place for me at Barbers Point, about 200 Chiefs attending, about
30 selectees were subjected to various awful things -- but I surprised
many by being very aggressive; I was second one done with the hog
trough and everything stayed down except the goldfish (it flipped out
just before I swallowed) and the truth serum (hardly anyone could keep
that down!). I outsmarted myself in the coffin, however; and on hell
night I ate THREE baluts. Fun to look back on; I don't think I'd want
to do it again, although if I DID do it again, I'd be more
aggressive about it. I made a beautiful charge book, engraved and
carved out of Hawaiian Koa wood.
