My name is Rus Allen. I am a Pacifica, CA resident. I moved here during my last Active Duty stint with the Navy… and I like it here!
I am originally from a small town in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, a small town called Canandaigua.
I spent 15 years in the US Navy in various locations including, NAS Jacksonville, FL (HS-9), the USS Nimitz (CVN-62), NAS New Orleans, LA (VP-94), and my last tours were here in the SF Bay Area. At NAS Alameda (HM-19) and NAVAIRES Moffett Field (AIMD). Since getting out of the Navy in 1999 (they wanted to send me back to sea for 5 years), I joined the California Air National Guard as a Traditional Guardsman (Reservist). I was assigned to the Fabrications Section of the 129th Rescue Wing. In May 2005 I retired after 23 years of service. I have stories to tell too, ask me about my time in the Service!
