During my tour aboard the MIGHTY MARV, I was assigned to M-Div. in Aux Mach 1 as well as the Engine Room. I reported as an MMFA out of A School and left an MM2. I saw the better part of 2 Western Pacific Deployments a the first of which we spent several months off of the coast of Viet Nam in support of Operation Piraz and a Yard Period in Long Beach Naval Shipyard. I was there for the introduction of EOSS, EOCC, the first Light Off Examination or LOE, and I saw Reftra twice. I was qualified for all watch stations in Aux 1, as well as all watch stations in the Engine Room up to and including Engine Room Supervisor. I was also qualified as Cold Iron and Sounding and Security Watchs.
