Roy,
Looks like we were on at the same time, I was on the T.R. from April '91 to Feb. '96. I was a photographer, one of the best jobs in the Navy besides fighter pilot!

Naw.... I had to work for a living too. Enlisted in 1971. I had a commerical pilots Lic and a FAA Flight Instructor Rating. Eye sight was not real good in right eye. Navy wouldn't take me in a officer program, plus at that time I had only 2 yrs of college (VA Tech, in Blacksburg VA). I was a TD... Tradevman. Training Devices, like the big Flight Simulators. Operated them, maintained them and for a few of us, taught on them. The rate required Adv Electronics, Main frame computers, Electro-mechanical, hyd, electrical, airconditioning.......anything dealing with the trainers. I enjoyed the job.... stayed in for 21yrs. E-6 in 5.5 years......then never made chief. After I made 1st Class the promotions were frozen. The rate was slowly being eliminated and Contractors took over the major training devices. I was one of the last....in sept 1986 I had to cross over to AE. Then finished with 2 yrs on the USS Theordore Roosevelt CVN-71.... Held an E-7 position but still no making Chief (Not enough Sea Duty). Then Recruiter duty in NH & VT.
Here I am in Montana with Easter Seals - Goodwill as one of the Network Systems Administrators.
IT IS FRIDAY

Ahh so you were an airedale (green shoe) then...
Then our current jobs are not that different, as the evolution of the phone has gotten it firmly entrenched in the data industry now. And I took to it like a duck to water...love building my own PC's and messing around with different operating systems, and networks. Got into it back in the early days, my first PC was an 8086 with a hercules orange screen.

I didn't work with PC's in the Navy.... They were just coming to be by the time I retired in 1992.
IP Phones are a big deal now!! We have a bunch of IP Phone systems. We have facilities in WY, MT, ID, UT. We are using Polycom phones.
