Memories For This Unit
Best Friends District SgtMaj. Wayne N. Smith, SgtMaj. Bob Singer at RS Buffalo who later replaced me at II MEF.	Best Moment Seeing SSgt. Lutat working with his champion Coon Hunting dogs; having Maj. Billups reporting aboard; getting off Recruiting Duty and going back to the Fleet - thanks Smitty!

Worst Moment Sgt. J.D. Stafford not being forwarded for meritorious promotion to SSgt. even after selected by our board. MSgt. Elwell making an ass out of himself at the 1990 Marine Corps Birthday Ball.	Chain of Command CO of the District was Col. J.K. Van Riper. District SgtMaj. was SgtMaj. Wayne N. Smith. Later Col. Guiseppi Betta (Darth Betta) took over. Station CO was Maj. Robert Kuhlow, who was replaced by Maj. Paul Billips. 1stLt. Doug Marr was the Ops O and later moved to XO. GySgt. Leonard Atkins was the Ops Chief later replaced by Ray Farley who retired as a SgtMaj.

Other Memories MSgt. Kreter (8412) was a great SNOCIC who trained his Marines (8411s) right and took care of them. Some of the other 8412s were an "interesting breed". Sgt. Jon Seabron enlisting my son George; Sgt. Doug Grafton up in Saratoga Springs and Sgt. Jim Fitzgibbons of Plattsburgh were also hardworking 8411s.
