Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

I served with Dave in Argentia in the mid 60s. Learned a lot from him and really liked the guy.
Last saw him in the Winter of 86 when I was on a trip to Shelburne. One of the girls threw a party and Dave and Barbara came. Had a great time which will be my memory.

Pat and I send our sincere condolences to Barbara and family.

Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

I was stationed with Dave Dittler in Argentia back in the late 60's. He will be remembered as a great guy and one of the best analysts the system ever produced. RIP shipmate. My condolences and prayers to Dave's family.

Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

Was with Dave in Iceland 1966. He would drive the financial people crazy because when he got his check
he would just throw it in dresser drawer unopened. When he needed $$$ he would then open one and cash it!

Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

Dave Dittler was one of a kind. Argentia, 1966-1970 Circa. His Ability to Analyze the impossible and tease the Senior Staff about arrival times of certain contacts was an art. There probably is not any OT that ever had Dave cross their path that would forget him. RIP Shipmate Condolences to his Family. Chuck & Linda.

Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

I never had the opportunity to serve with the Master Chief....but I always heard he was a squared away guy.

Thanks Dave...for your service to our beautiful system and our country. RIP

Re: OTCM Dave Dittler

Chief Dittler met me at the airport in 1966 when I reported aboard from Grand Turk. Instead of taking me to the barracks, he took out to the NAVFAC. Kef was in the middle of OKEAN '66 (or whatever they called it back then) and he thought I'd like to see what I was getting into. He escorted me into the display room, and I just stood there with my mouth open. All those arrays, all those vernier displays (which GT did not have) and it seemed like every beam had something going on. I was amazed!
