My Aerographer’s Mate A School class from April 1975. I’m in the second row, third from the left (the tall guy who looks out of place). Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey
We were fresh out of basic training in the above picture. What is an Aerographer’s Mate (AG)? We are meteorologists and oceanographers, flight weather forecasters, tropical weather experts, severe weather predicters, and all around environmental forecasters (land, sea, air, and sub-surface). The rating just celebrated 100 years of service.
December 1989. Naval Oceanography Command Detachment Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. My detachment of fellow Aerographer’s Mates pose for our annual Christmas Card photo. I’m the last guy in the first row to the extreme right. The detachment was located on Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in the Operations Building which was adjacent to the airfield.Aerographer’s Mates in OA Division onboard the USS Midway (CV-41). I’m the last guy in the far right. Late 1977, underway from our homeport of Yokosuka, Japan.
I served on three aircraft carriers during my 22 year Navy career. The USS Midway (CV-41), USS Forrestal (CV-59), and finally the USS John F. Kennedy (CV-67). Other duty stations included NAS Pensacola, NAS Jacksonville, and the Naval Submarine Base (NSB) Kings Bay, Georgia. It was a blast!
Our detachment logo in 1990 reflected our support mission to the submarine community (Trident subs).

The best addition to my camera collection in 2023. I’m a big-time Canon and Yashica collector, so getting into the Nikon brand has been a fun experience. Lots to learn, which has made it a challenge. Nikon F2A (F2 Photomic A) with a Nikkor 50mm f2 lens. Pictured with the AS-1Flash Unit Coupler and AR-1 Soft Shutter Release. The F2 body is from early 1973, and the DP-11 metered viewfinder is from 1978. Do you have a new favorite Nikon?
