Jim Trever served in the Navy from 1968 through 1973, starting as a Naval Flight Officer in F-4 “Phantom” jets, where he trained at N.A.S. Oceana, VA and flew off the USS Forrestal, carrier qualifying in October 1970. He later transferred into the S-2 “Tracker” Anti-Submarine Warfare community where he saw Maintenance and Material Control Officer duty aboard the USS Saratoga, USS Wasp and USS Intrepid. While on active duty, Jim was awarded augmentation to “Regular Navy”, (USN), as a Distinguished Naval Graduate, and a Navy Achievement Medal. Prior to learning the Navy way of life, Jim grew up in various mid-western locations including Iowa, Illinois, West Virginia and Ohio. Having no TV, Jim focused early on electronics and aviation. He got his General Class Ham Radio license at age 15, and the Instrument Ground Instructor FAA license at 16. By 21 he had Commercial and Flight Instructor FAA ratings that partially paid his way through college at USC and Baldwin-Wallace College, where he graduated with a BS in Biology 1n 1968. It was then, shortly after college, that having won the only lottery of his life, (the draft lottery), he entered the Navy! After the Vietnam pull back in 1973, Jim went to work for Ross Perot’s Electronic Data systems (EDS) and trained as a Computer Systems Engineer and continued working for EDS for almost five years. Armed with his hard-earned background in computer systems engineering from EDS, Jim joined the Navy Civil Service at the Navy Regional Data Automation Center, (NARDAC), N.A.S Pensacola, FL in 1979. He later joined the Navy Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA), where he stayed until coming to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) predecessor, Fleet analysis Center (FLTAC), in 1986. At FLTAC, Jim joined the newly formed Graphics Branch, where he helped recruit graphics software development projects and personnel which later saw the evolution of several key, cutting edge, analysis products including PA-40’s SWIFT (missile flight analysis), PA-20’s WAM (battlegroup reconstruction and analysis). Jim led the workstation evaluation team, which introduced the plethora of Silicon Graphics (SGI) workstations, found at NSWC. Subsequently, Jim built and ran the JWAL theatre from its inception starting in 1992 through June 1996. Jim transferred to the East Coast EW Systems Branch (FT-25), Cherry Point, NC in 1996 as the Systems Administrator for the local Navy network. In Addition, Jim worked as the Information Systems Security Officer or (Information Assurance Officer) for five years and local SIPRnet administrator for ten years. Jim is currently serving at the Assistant Security Officer and the East Coast Tactical Training Ranges (ECTTR) Webmaster prior to his anticipated retirement in January, 2008. Outside of work, Jim enjoys repairing and collecting Lionel trains, freelance writing, and rehabilitating orphaned or injured wildlife, primarily various species of squirrels. Jim is a member of the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association and holds a NC state permit for wildlife rehabilitation. Jim was the Associate Editor of the NSWC Corona Div. Norconian Relections Newsletter (1999-2003) with a background of numerous published articles in collector trade magazines, as well as being published in field, (NARDAC Technical Report TR-01). In 2004 Jim completed, digitized and published his father’s (John C. Trever, PhD) last book on the Dead Sea Scrolls, The Dead Sea Scrolls in Perspective, Bibal Press. Jim was married to Charlotte Trever, a former NSWC employee, deceased 25 July 2000. Jim has three children, Jason (33), an RN and former Navy boatswain’s mate on the USS Kittyhawk, Stephen (33), a grad in MDIV at Yale Divinity School, and Elizabeth (38), a freelance writer and columnist for the Pensacola News Journal. He has six grandchildren.
