McLENDON, ADRC Charles R. Retired crmarm3587@aol.com "...I joined the Navy in 1951, boot camp at NAS North Island, San Diego, California, from there to schools at NAS Memphis, Tennessee and NAS Jacksonville, Florida before being assigned to FASRON-9 at NAS Cecil Field, Jacksonville, Florida. I joined VP-5 at NAS Jacksonville, Florida in late 1954 or early 1955. While in VP-5, I became a plane captain trained by AD1 Goss who also pushed me to qualify for CAC wings. I was AD3 at the time. From there I went to NAS Kingsville, Texas and from there to VP-23 at NAS Brunswick, Maine. I took my discharge in 1961 at NAS Brunswick, Maine and traveled to Birmingham where I re-enlisted and joined VP-5 again. I was in VP-5 in NS Rota, Spain on split deployment when we lost crew 3 in Iceland in 1962 (SEE: In Memorial for lost friends...12JAN62). From there I went to NAS Key West, Florida for shore duty and then back to NAS Jacksonville, Florida and VP-7 and I think that was 1966. I left VP-7 in 1969 and went back to NAS Key West, Florida on CAG 50 staff. When the CAG was scheduled to deploy I had a retirement date so I was transferred to VX-1 in NAS Key West, Florida where I retired as ADRC in 1971. The best years of my life were those in the VPNavy..." [13JAN2012]
