Randall Hunter
Came in on the delayed entry program in 1973, finished High School Jan 25, 1974. Reported to RTC NTC GLakes 1/28/78 with a guarantee HM "A" School. Graduated HM "A" school in July, reported to NH Charleston SC. I did 4 years there, made HM2 and transferred to NH Keflavik Iceland, 2/78 to 12/80. Navy decided I needed to thaw out so they sent me to Branch Hospital, MCAGCC 29 Palms CA for three years. USS Juneau (LPD 10) for 3 years and 3 days sailing the bounding main. Or at least a couple of WestPacs (IYK,YK). For some reason Navy thought I needed a teaching billit, so off to NSHS Pharmacy Tech school I went as Assistant Director, LCPO, Lead Instructor. They tried to extend my tour one too many times, I'd made Senior Chief so I terminated shore duty and received orders to Field Med Tech school at Camp Pendleton as a student. PCS'd to H&S Co, 3d Med BN, 3d, FSSG at Camp Hansen Okinawa for 13 months. My final tour was as SMDR, CSSG-1 back at the Stumps. Celebrating "passover" for Master Chief, again, I put my papers in and retired from AD on 6/30/94. Since then, I've been a grad student, State Trooper, County Sheriff's Deputy, Firefighter, EMT, Security Guard, Contract Outside Salesman, receiving clerk and now general layabout. I worked in Iraq as a contract Firefighter from 9/06 to 11/10, then in Afghanistan from 3/12 to 3/13. Now? I ride my motorcycles as much as possible. I've ridden from coast to coast, Canada to Mexico and have ridden in 37 of the contiguous States.
