I have Ten years in USN Communications, My title was Radioman.  My first job was working with civilians testing data programs in a simulated LHA mockup. I worked at HFR, HFT, VLF, sites, Msg traffic and Top Secret Crypto systems. I enjoyed teaching/training the most. Loved every minute of it. I have been to American Samoa, Hawaii, Calif, Florida, Australia, New Zealand.

Navy, Hawaii...so you spent some time at Pearl Harbor, yes?

By the way, good on you.  I didn't know you were former military.

It wasn't shown on TV, but I was listening on the radio, and it was awesome.  Thank you Penn State for honoring our armed forces like that.  This is how you redeem yourself.

I am not military but my Dad was and my Husband's father was also.  I grew up in an area close to Fort Lewis, Washington.

That's where I did my out-processing in '93.  It was awesome.  I was there a week, an hour's drive away from the birthplace of grunge during its heyday.  We hit the clubs, some bands actually set up on street corners playing for free...I don't remember any of their names but it was awesome all the same.

I used to go see bar-bands in Seattle all the time then.   It was fun times!
