I
was stationed in Diego From April 77 To April 78. I was an RM2 and worked
in Tech Control at R-Site. I Spent 4 months moored in the the lagoon on
the USS Proteus May to Aug 1984. I retired in 1990 and worked for the State
of Oregon for 18 years. This job opportunity came up about 8 months ago.
I applied and got the job. When I got my clearance back in Feb 08 my boss
calls me and says "Pack you bags your going to Diego Garcia." So here I
am again back in paradise. Be careful what you say you might just get it.
Lots more buildings now and communications with home are easier and being
a civilian helps but it is still the same place. I liked it when I was
stationed here and in 1984 when I was here. It is 2008 and I still like
the place. Some things never change.
