Howdy, I served aboard her from 1974 to 1978 in S-6 Division as Balance Crew. I knew lots of folks from the Air Wing Squadrons and I was LPO/CPO in the Supply Response Section. It would be kick A** to hear from some of the now Old Fogies I served with back in the day!!!

I was assigned to the Nimitz on the original pre-commissioning unit in 1972 and transferred on the day of commissioning. I would like to obtain a list of the crew on the day of commissioning. Also, if anyone out there was on the pre-commissioning unit please reply.
