I was also on the Carpenter from 72-75 in the Interior Communications (IC) gang. My memories of TI include cold, windy quarterdeck watches, a minesweeper across from us that caught on fire, being tied up to the rickety wood dock, and missing TI as they moved us to NSC Oakland. Seems like there was a fire-fighting and motion picture projector school somewhere on base. I was also in transit at TI when mustering out.
