Class of 94: LCDR Duane Decker: Sometimes the quiet of the country can make a person long for something a little louder. In the case of Lt. Cmdr. Duane Decker, the call of the Navy convinced him to leave his rural home of Gillett, Pa., in search of something more. "I'm from a pretty rural area where it was either milking cows or joining the Navy," he said. "The Navy was my way out." But now as the new maintenance officer for the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Division, Decker has shed the small-town image, while now donning the robe of the ranking officer. "It was kind of intimidating at my first appearance here," Decker said, "but because of my background, I feel pretty comfortable."

In 1986, Decker transferred to the VF-142 "Ghostriders" at Oceana. After a short stint with Grumman Aerospace as a civilian, he returned to the fleet with the VF-31 "Tomcatters" of Oceana. "I never really anticipated doing the full 20 years. I felt it was just going to be a stepping stone in my life," Decker said. "However, my wife wanted to move back to the Hampton Roads, Va., area and since it's pretty expensive to just pack up and move, I told her I'll go back into the Navy so we can be close to that area." Decker didn't miss a beat as he was then selected as Sailor of the Year for VF-31, then entered the enlisted commissioning program in 1991 and transferred to Newport, R.I. for training. Decker received his commission in May 1994 through Old Dominion University's Reserve Officer Training Corps program after earning a degree in electrical engineering.
