This photo was taken, I believe, in early 1974 - by the front gate looking back at the admin building. I believe the CPO in whites just made Chief. We would love to be able to put names to these familiar and friendly faces we used to know so well. So far, we can ID three by name: 1) Master Chief Merrill, Front line to the left as you view the picture. 2) Chief Bob Pope, next to the Master chief in the front row. 3) Chief Terry Sprague, to the left of the skipper as you view the picture in the middle row. Perhaps you would post this picture and give us a hand with the names? R/ Michael S. Brown LCDR, USN (ret) - formerly CTM2 at Sabana Seca The following words are from Jim Riddell: This photo was taken in front of the Mess Hall and across from the Dispensary and Old Navy Exchange.
