    Wm. E. Gardner was in around the same time as me.  However, I didn't serve on a tin can, just travelled on them from Guantanamo Bay to Jamaica for Liberty.  I was in GTMO from 1960-62 and our only liberty was when a tin can would ask the Commandant for a liberty trip to Jamaica.  The Commandant would approve the weekend trip only if they would take some of  the Base Personnel with them.  I got to go on 4 weekend cruises in my 2 years.

    May 1970 - February 2007 (3 yr break in service). It sure did go fast! Enjoyed nearly every assignment and most of the good people I met along the way!
