I was stationed there from 92-96. The union did not have specific assigned spots but we were encouraged to let the DOD's have the closest ones to the building. They did a superb job training the Marines. Most were very good controllers and had a wealth of knowkedge to pass on. They usually didn't tolerate slackasses. If you didn;t put out in training, you got sent to VAL/base ops. Traffic was pretty crazy then so you didn't make it if you weren't shiite hot. We had a very good OIC and she seemed to have a very professional relationship with the dod leadership. Who was the guy you knew, I probably know his also.

I am former NATCA leader from NKT. In reference to trying to get other DOD facilities with NATCA, the earlier poster was correct in that they were represented by other unions. I beleive that NBC was represented by AFGE as an example. When I left the movement lost some momentum due this and then the contract tower situation. Yes we had mostly good OIC's but at times some of them gave us a hard time, especially in the beginning.

In Solidarity,
