Went there in June 1987 my 4th and final station in the 1st year “rotation”. Most of this crew was still there. I replaced J.J. I believe. Captain Jerry Patry was the Captain there (he acted a lot, that may be why Bernie was there in this picture).
Lt. Clayton Hill had lots of stories, I think every story started with “no word of a lie”.
Fun time there with the crew.
