I was one of the first to transfer to NAS Moffett Field, California and was the first qualified as a Radio Operator in P-3s.

We landed in the middle of an Air Force ORI and they thought we were part of the exercise! Many APs with full battle dress and M-16s pointed at us! In the P-3 I was in Crews 1 and 3.
