I've had a lot of great jobs along the way, but my time in VC-2 was the most memorable, oddly enough. It was, after all, my 1st assignment. I always felt that I learned more from the Navy than I did in college. I was the guy who painted the big metal insignia that hung on the side of the hanger bay in Oceana.  Thanks VC-2, hope all you guys live forever.

A lot of flight hours and instrument time paid great dividends in the years that followed.  On every approach to the ship at night or in bad weather, I thanked those days in VC-2.

Hoffman Paul M   E5 PO Box 484 Dover OH 44622-0484 330-343-7384 hoffman@tusco.net 68-70 The most vivid memory would be the mock beach invasion that we participated in. It was quite a thrill to see the aircraft that we worked on up and flying, literally "in our faces". Then there was the day we spent on the USS America during their dependents day cruise.The saddest memory would be the loss of two pilots. One was Lt. Bell, a mustanger who related to everyone.
Houston Ken                 kjhouston20@aol.com 72-75 Had a great time, the CMC was Master Chief Lesprance (probably misspelled) my division chief was AEC Clarence P Smith, my best friends was AE2 George E Jordan.and ADR3 Bobby Bowls. Like all the new guys in the squadron I painted the stair well to start- moved into check crew,then to the AE shop became CDI on both A4 & S2 and day check supervisor.

 Great times in VC-2. I designed the squadron patch I see is still being used...prize was 30 days of no SDO duty! Hi to Rocco DeFeo, Kurt Rohdenburg, Gary Harrell, John Watkins, Al Jenkins, John Morgan, Roger Wanamaker, Kuip and all the rest. My first division was Material Control..and never did understand the FSN logic. Became Safety Officer in '65, and first accident I had to do was John Morgan's ejection at the 180. John didn't get a scratch.
