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.
