I was stationed with Chief (then CTO1) Riley at NSGA Galeta Island Panama 1983-84.
When i got there many people told me to watch out for him, mean and grouchy...lol.
I got along with him fine. He had a dry, quirky sense of humor, cracked me up all the time. He taught me a lot about the job. I had plans to get out after my Panama tour, he ended up convincing me to stay in. He was a good guy.
R.I.P. Chief.
