BEE School

B double E School

July 1971 - Sept 1971 (?)

Basic Electronics & Electricity School at the Naval Training Center, San Diego, Ca. I actually joined the Navy to be a Sonar Tech and this was the first school I would have to attend. Got about 3/4 the way through it and decided I didn't want to be a Sonar Tech and dropped out. Turned out the Navy was starting this new rate called an Electronics Technician and I would have spent 52 weeks in school learning everything there is to know about sonar gear (including how to repair it) and I wouldn't have been able to do it. I would have had to call the ET. So I dropped out even under threat of being sent to a ship and put on Deck Force!
