Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activity
Mayport, FL
DEC 92
Made Chief at SIMA Mayport, a great place to finish up a career. Thanks to CDR Charlie Murphy, the best CO I ever had, and the fantastic folks in the SIMA Safety Office: LCDR Joseph Campisano, RM1 Frank Damato, BM2 Becky Bernhard, EM1 Bob Willett, ETCS Bob Hodges, GMG1(?) Gary Deutschendorf (sorry Gary, I forgot your rating), HTC Rick Welsch, and, of course Emma! All things considered, it was a good twenty years and there isn't much I'd change.
Retirement Ceremony 16 APR 97
