Re: The Navy has always had a bad attitude towards enlisted ratings
Bruce, you asked me to reply to you when you referenced my post. I wish this were 50 years ago, I would have been very much interested. When I left the service I was told I needed a college degree to continue as a civilian in the field. I went, but did not graduate,(got married, needed a job), Just for info, I served at Navfac Ramey, did tdy to Eluethera, and finished at Argentia, from 1959 to 1963. I held SOO3, SOO2, SOG2(part of the problem), and at final discharge STG2. Never knew what that was. I really loved what I was doing, and if I say so myself was very good at it, and got a 4.0 while at Argentia.
Thank you for your reply,
Jim Trimmer
