BM1 MANUEL
BARRIENTOS,
JR., USN
Came to
recruiting
duty in October 1968 after completing PNC-1 School at the Service
School
Command, Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Maryland.
Assigned to
NRS,
Dallas, Texas
I was instructed
to find a suitable Office Space in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas to set
up
a Recruiting Office. My area of responsibility was from
Downtown
Dallas south to Wilmer, and from Wilmer west to Lancaster,
DeSoto,
Duncanville, Cedar Hill, Midlothian and back to West Dallas than back
towards
Downtown. Giving me all of South and west Dallas County.
Recruiters would
make out an itinerary and visit each one of the towns at least
three
times a week to include the high schools.
We had about ten recruiters assigned to NRS Dallas and we mustered daily at 0800 prior to going on the road. We didn't have any other offices. However it was incumbent upon us to find suitable office space to be used as a Navy Recruiting Office.
In Octobr 1, 1971 I was promoted to Chief Petty Officer (E-7)
