After completing factory training on the A7 Corsair II at Dallas, TX I worked for three A7 squadrons and Light Attack Wing One.
From 1966 – 1970 I was with VA-174 at NAS Cecil Field, FL (shore duty).
From 1973 – 1977 I was with VA-125 at Naval Air Station Lemoore, CA (shore duty).
My only sea duty assignment was with VA-46 at NAS Cecil Field FL from 1983-1985. I did one entire cruse with that squadron aboard the USS America, CV-66.
I did one year on limited duty at CLAW1, NAS Cecil Field where I was a manpower analyst for the A7 east coast community. I had earned that classification code on shore duty with CINCLANTFLT, Norfolk, VA.
