Don’t know about base commander but his daddy was a Rear Admiral.........that is why McCain graduated from the Naval Academy. It took him five years when everyone else graduated in four years. He also graduated at the bottom of his class.

Just glancing over his bio, it looks like he might have been a bit young for a base command (born 1911) when his son was born. And it said he was a submarine commander during WW2.

“Thats were my dad was stationed in WWII.”

My grandfather was stationed there as well. They probably knew each other. Besides guard duty, he was assigned to sit on a barge beside a smoke pot waiting for an air-raid siren. Later they sent him to Okinawa and eventually mainland Japan.

Cheers :)
