NPIC "SAILOR OF THE MONTH"

Here I am receiving the "Sailor of the Month" award from the Captain of NPIC. We all worked very hard at this duty station. Many many hours in the dark room making prints for intelligence. We figured out one time that we must have worked and average of 65 hours a week as we worked all day and then worked at night on our duty night which happened every third night.

I made many good life long friends while there and enjoyed living in the Washington, D.C. area. After I got out of the Navy I returned to the area and spent 33 years there raising my family and working in the printing industry.

WELL ARE YOU TIRED OF SEEING MY UGLY MUG? SEND IN SOME OF YOUR PHOTOS, PLEASE!

NPIC

Here's a couple of pictures of me in front of the large copy camera that I worked on at NPIC. I learned a lot on this job that helped me eventually in the graphic arts field of printing. These photos were taken for the newsletter, as I remember, announcing me a "Sailor of the Month".

HOME ON LEAVE

Until others start sending in stories and photos I guess this site will have to be a lot about me and my Navy days. The photo above was taken after I got out of Airman Prep school in Norman OK and before I went on to Photography "A" school in Pensacola, FL.
