Jon Tamayo
Class of 1983
Navy, 20+ Years
After leaving Blanco I attended Texas A&M University for three years before packing it in. I worked several places before finally joining the Navy in 1988. I have been stationed in San Diego, CA; Great Lakes, IL: Mare Island, CA; and Norfolk, VA. ...
After leaving Blanco I attended Texas A&M University for three years before packing it in. I worked several places before finally joining the Navy in 1988. I have been stationed in San Diego, CA; Great Lakes, IL: Mare Island, CA; and Norfolk, VA. I first went to sea on the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71 during Desert Shield/Storm. We later did operations during Kosovo in 1992. I was a part of the commisioning crew of the USS Bataan LHD-5 and a part of its maiden voyage to the Mediteratian and Red Seas. My last ship was the USS Trenton LPD-14 which we decommisioned and sold to the INS (Indian Navy.) I am currently stationed with COMOPTEVFOR where new technology, systems, and ships are tested before being released to the fleet. The Navy has been very rewarding for me and I would not change my decision to enlist. The Navy is catalyst for meeting my wife. (I was set up by a Navy buddy 19 years ago.) We have three beautiful (and hard headed children.)
