Got there in Nov, '84 in the dead of night. Wintered over, then went to BE&E and EM 'A' School before trucking off to Orlando for Nuke school. Lost my wisdom teeth there - had the boot print on my forehead to prove it. EM1(SS)
Went to MM "A" school there fall of 75. Damn cold winds coming off the lake but watching hours-long thunderstorms out there was kind of relaxing. The 600# plant if it is still there would be my last duty station standing.
Is that an LPD? Sure looks like it. Signed up for the suck in 77. Got out in 81 and swore I'd never go back. 1986 I shipped out again and retired in 02. I miss the people but nothing else. Never met a finer bunch of assholes in the Corps.
