First duty station and only overseas duty station. Arrived as a CTMSN (first time anyone there had seen a CTMSN just out of "A" and "C" school that had not been busted in rank - I was not given auto advancement to E4 out of A School since I was not offered it upon initial enlistment due to originally enlisting in the USNR and then enlisting into the USN in "A" school). Not sure why everyone said it was such a s-hole place to be stationed, I loved the area, travel opportunities, and sight seeing in and around the geo area (Ischia, Capri, Sorrento - some of the most breathtaking scenery in my career). Served in COMMS, Bldg 70.

Served at ARFCOS Duty at Capo. Courier service here is more difficult than it appears. Finding ships that wouldn't disclose their whereabouts was always a challenge. Cathy and I travelled extensively. Kristen was born here on 20 Apr 1980. Bella Kristen went onto MIT and works on Wall St. She has outdone here parents in traveling - 53 countries to her credit and counting. Earthquake and hijacking of courier truck standout. Visiting my parents birthplace in Gioia Sanitica was memorable. Traveled the country in our Triumph TR-6. CTAC McNutt, CTAC Bach and CTA2 Conger were great shipmates. Tom & Ruth Hise who were civilians were in our Italian class and became great friends. Also Florence Desmond. We have been back two times on Space A. Capo has sure changed. How can one forget the Amalfi Drive, Island of Capri and of course old Naples.
