I stayed in the Charlestonm SC area for a few months after I retired in January 1976 trying to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life. I soon accepted an offer from Data-Design Laboratories in Arlington, VA and moved to Woodbridge, VA in September 1976. I started out working on the development of the Index of Technical Publications for the SSN688 Class of submarines on a contract with Naval Sea Systems Command. For the next twenty plus years I was involved in the development of various Navy Training Plans, Integrated Logistic Support Plans, Index of Technical Publications, and ILS certification for the Trident Training Facility, Kings Bay, GA. Although I worked for various contractors over the years supporting NAVSEA and SPAWAR on submarine communications contracts I supported Mr. Carl Haines in SEA 92L and his staff for the last thirteen years. I feel extremely proud to have supported the submarine service on both active duty and as a civilian for more than thirty four years of my life. As the saying goes, once a submariner, always a submariner. I retired for good on 1 April 1999. My wife Louise, and I, had a new home builit in the Shenandoah Valley, about five miles west of Woodstock, VA, and we moved in on 22 November 2000. What a way to go. 492 Fairview Circle, Woodstock, VA 22664 (540) 459-1928 bdecker@shentel.net WE'LL LEAVE THE LIGHT ON FOR YOU! |
