Last OCS class at Pensacola Naval Air Station

[Tom Callahan]

The last Officer Candidate School Class at Pensacola Naval Air Station
graduated today. Ceremonies were held in the atrium of the National Naval
Aviation Museum. The aviation branch of the OCS program will merge with the
other OCS programs at Newport, Rhode Island.

One of these new Ensigns, who was previously an enlisted woman on the Blue
Angel maintenance team, now starts her career again as an officer assigned
to NAS Oceana.

We are sad to loose the school as it was always stirring to see these cadets
marching around and working towards their commissions.

Not to worry though, we'll still see them as Ensigns learning to fly and
navigate.

Hey! There were airplanes in the picture........
I know what you are saying but many readers don't visit all of the newsgroups and the key word about my post is "news" that I thought readers around the world might find interesting. Maybe I'll go to the naval group with a narrative about the day's happenings, Tom

Nostalgia, probably more fitting for rec.aviation.military.naval than for this group, but WTH Tom. As it happens, I was in the Newport OCS Class VI (25 July 1952) and what has gone around, cometh around.

I didn't think what Boomerang said was a slap on the wrist. I had forgotten
all about the rec.aviation.military.naval newsgroup. Maybe I should post
Blue Angel photos there as well as here. And, I was glad to see that a guy
who made it through OCS in the heat of a Rhode Island summer in 1952 is
still around and reading the newsgroups. He probably went to Korea for his
first tour of duty, Tom
