Shipmate  KENDALL, George
Joined VR-30 on my first tour out of ADJ "A" school in 1973, one month after the frist C-9B joined the squadron. My very first flight with the squadron was in a C-1A. But I wanted to be a C-9 aircrewman which was my billet. I achieved 2000 hrs on the 9's and loved every hour of it but cheerished my 300 hrs in the C-1A's much, much more. I stayed with the squadron and the C-1's from 1975 until they moved the C-1A's on perminent Det south to NAS North Island, San Diego, California. The Det eventially became VRC-30. That is when I started to fly the CT-39's for achieving 500 hrs. I stayed in NAS Alameda, California with VR-55 finishing out my nine years as the squadrons FCPC NATOPS Instructor back on the 9's.

Notice  If you served with VQ-1 (1968-1971) and deployed to Det Bravo, FASU/NSA DaNang, Republic of Vietnam, we need your help. ADJ1 Roger Stermer, who worked in the Mech shop, passed away last year. His widow, Carol, is trying to prove to the VA that he served in country. If you knew Roger and were deployed at the same time as him, Carol would like your help in proving this. If you have any TAD orders with his name, pictures, or are willing to write a letter stating that you served with Roger at the Det, please contact me and I will contact her. If you have had this problem and got it resolved, how did you do it. I served with FE Roger while in VP-19 (1973).
