I joined the Navy in May of 1956, went to Boot Camp and then to T.I.to join class of Electrnics School. They came to our Barracks recruiting and I fell in love. I have many happy memories of the time in the Toon.It was great to have someone to talk to, hang out with, Toon practices,piling on the bus to head out to a Parade in some Bay City.The people in the towns where we had the Parades treated us real good.We had our own Barracks, no clean-up duty in the other Barracks.We had a great Officer for a Sponser, who really looked out after us. Our Drill Master was named Spokes.I also remember a ex-member who came by to visit us named Joker. Believe he had a girl friend in the area.Also remember a Toon member named Spikes. I was a member of the drill team in 1958-59, while attending Radar "A" School. Some of my most enjoyable memories of my Navy enlistment are from being a member of the drill team. I have a few still photos of the team marching in parades around the Bay Area and I have a short film. It was taken by a cousin of mine, who lived in San Leandro. He made the film during a parade in that town. I managed to get the film transferred to DVD but the quality is not all that great. Still, it did preserve my wonderful memories of being on the drill team.
