Information Furnished by: Ed Gartland


I was with the 32nd ITT Apr 82-Oct 83.  I was a 2629/2643 Sgt E-5 at the time.  Maj Alan Davis was the OIC.  For my 1983 active duty I spent 6 weeks at Ft McCoy and came home as an 0251.  In late 83 my civilian job took me to Ft Meade, MD and I returned to the 2600 field with the MCR Cryptologic Program.

My history is rather convoluted:
1960-66 USMC
1967-71 USAF
1971-75 USAFR
1982-93 USMCR (32nd ITT, Manchester, NH Apr 82-Oct 83
1993-95 Army Reserve

Various DOD agencies
1976-78 Panama Canal Zone
1983-86 Ft Meade, MD
1986-91 US Embassy Bangkok (several TADs to consulates in Udorn and Songkhla)
1991-94 Frankfurt, Germany
1994-95 Ft Meade, MD

I did Thai language school at Ft Meade, MD Apr-Dec 61, followed by Lao Jan-Jun 62.  From that point on, most of my assignments (with the exception of 4 years USAFR in Search and Rescue) were in the 2600 field although I acquired the 0251 MOS at Ft McCoy, WI while a member of the 32nd ITT.  By the time of my retirement, my MOSs were 0231/0251/2629/2643 or 96B, 97E, 98C, 98G if you do Army speak.

Retired from the DOD Dec 94 and finished out my reserve service as a Docent at the National Cryptologic Museum, Ft Meade, MD.  Retired as an E-7 Oct 95.

Now own Rainbow Cruises, a cruise only travel agency.
