Fgrun83--You can't believe how hard I've looked to find for a list of Navy abbreviations. Thanks a million and a well deserved salute.
Fgrun83 Thanks so much for help and sites. Now I want to try to figure out where he was overseas by the company and units. If anyone has ideas where to start looking, please add info. I have found several sites on Ft. Slocum which is also David's Island. It was one of largest recruiting stations in World War I. d. Gaddie

Thanks for definitions. I am hoping to connect them to my Dad's service record. He was in the Philippines too. I am trying to find out what Company and Unit he was in and hoped these abbreviations would give a cue. It appears that in Fall of 1942 he was at Camp Crowder which was School for Signal Corps. It actually became The Central Signal Corps Training Center. It was located in Neosho, Missouri which is about 25 miles from Joplin, Missouri. dng
