Sheesh!Is anybody out there still alive that remembers us? I never heard of the drill team.I was there from Sept.'55 to June'56 (42 wks.) attending "A" school. We(the band)were in a local parade most every weekend.We had our own barracks but you had to maintain a certain minimum grade to remain a member. After school I was assigned to the transmitter facility of NavComSta San Diego. After shore duty I was aboard the USS Dennis J.Buckley DDR-808 out of Long Beach for two years.We did two cruises to WestPac including one that took us to Australia, New Zealand and Samoa. I separated from the service in July'59 as an ET-2.I will forever be grateful to the U S Navy for affording me the opportunity to learn the basics in a field that provided me employment for my working life.I'm 72 but I will never forget my time at TI. Any former members out there feel free to give me a blast.
