I was assigned here from Thomasville AFS, AL after we pulled the plug at Thomasville.
I retrained into Electronic Countermeasures (Electronic Warfare) after 6 months at San Pedro.
I kind of hated to leave the place. It was a pleasant place to be in those days. The entire family enjoyed our brief time there but the career field was a dying and ECM was on the move.
