is a series of photos sent in to us by 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.
