Love those sideburns Arne. I remember when Adm. Zumwalt let us grow them along with the mustaches and beards. All these guys with little fuzzy caterpillars on their upper lips, darkening them with shoe polish for liberty.

Jerry, I've been on www.togetherweserved.com since it was formed. It is a great way to reconnect with former shipmates. I even reconnected with a guy I was in boot camp (1964) & A School (1966) with, and he still lives in the Bay Area!

Actually, I started out as a RMSN in the Naval Reserve, but when my TSSI clearance came in I was switched to CTRSN (Manual Morse Intercept Operator). At my first duty station overseas I ended up in the Processing & Reporting Division in a 3-man unit breaking Soviet codes and ciphers.
When I got tired of running over to an officer who was a Russian linguist to see if I was on the right track, I reenlisted for Russian language school, converted to CTI2, and the rest is history
