Master Chief Boser was one of my "A" school instructors, sadly crossed the bar. Good man, and good instructor.

RMCM Boser was also one of my instructors in RM "A" School. He left a lasting impression and will be remembered fondly.

...I can still see him there, in NMO's backroom... audio cords in hand, searching for just the right 'pukas' to patch together....aha, there he's got it... He would eventually exit to whichever LOP to test his latest greatest work - extra patch cord adeptly hanging around his neck like a true Tech Controller with all the aplomb and dignity of a graduate on Graduation Day wearing his Bachelor's (or Master's) sash and gown.

Then Chief Banik (now LCDR, retired) had him down perfectly and did the best "Boser" impersonation, ever. We all tried. But none could match Dave's "Boser on audio patch adjustment duty" act.

Fair Winds Master Chief. We'll remember you, always...
