any
of us had a Great Lakes experience in our early
years in the Navy. First it was for boot camp.
Then, if you were going to attend an "A"
school, there were a quite a few of them at Great
Lakes. This photo is of Ron Wyatt (right) and
an unidentified classmate in Radar Class, a 4-week
segment of ET "A" School, which was
about 40 weeks long. Lots of intensive training
in electronics and repairing the SPS 6 radar system.
This photo was taken during the summer of 1962,
just before Ron graduated and reported aboard
the Tidewater in September.
