I reported to the Indy at the Philadelphia Naval Yard on 27 December 1987. I help her during the SLEP phase programme until June 1988. My work centre was Airframe Work Centre 510. I serviced the following series of aircrafts, F-14 F-18, EA-6B, and CH-46. I really love the job I was doing in the shop. Especially during Operation Desert Shield. I left the Indy at its base at North Island Naval Air Base, San Diego California on 31 August 1991. I join the US Army on 24 October 1991 and in until I officially retire on 24 September 2009. I would like to hear from two personnel from AIMD. Chief Ronald Peoples and AMS3 Jeffrey Wieckhorst. I missed you guys! My email is areidskyraider1966@gmail.com.
