   My first duty station in the Navy was at an Air Force base in San   
   Antonio TX.  Wierd I know but it was a joint USAF/USN base testing   
   software.  I even made Airman of the Month and had my picture on the   
   wall for a year.   
      
   I was a 'DP' (computer geek rate).  The name changed later to IT.
