ere
is a series of photos sent in to us by Association
Life Member, Ron Wyatt, which show what the training
facilities at Great Lakes Naval Station looked
like back in the early Sixties. The photo above
is of Wyatt (right) and an unidentified classmate
standing in front of their barracks at ET "A"
School. The school was about 40 weeks long in
those days - lots of technical stuff with lots
of algebra and pencil pushing and head scratching
- a really good education. Ron graduated and then
reported for duty aboard the Tidewater in September
1962. He worked in the ET Shop and Toulon, France
was his favorite liberty port.
