Comment by Larry Peacock on August 2, 2010 at 4:21pm - I was a member of the First Class Mess & Plankowner on board the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69. From 1977 to 1981 when I departed. IKE was a fine ship. It was also a long 4 years I spent on board & quite an experience. I had some good shipmates & some good memories down in the armory.

I retired in 1989 from Special Boat Unit 22, I was there from Sept. 1981 to Aug. 1989. I'm trying to find someone that may remember the name of a YN1 Wave that was at SBU22 toward the end of 1981 & beginning of 1982. In 1982 she went TAD to a cold climate location, like Iceland or Anartica etc. Not much to go on I know but I remain hopeful. Any info may help.
Thanx, GMG1 Peacock (USN Ret) xryverrhat@bellsouth.net

I retired as a YN1 in 1974 and enjoyed every minute from working over the side, clean heads, mess cooking and compartment cleaning and being a boat cox After doing all this duties I felt that there must be something else better then this, so that is when I became a yeoman from typing up the newsletter, court martials, investigations and other duties that I will not mention. Serving aboard 4 ships, 4 shore duties, I am greatful that I saw what the Navy is all about.

OS1 on board the U.S.S. Niagara Falls fleet stores ship my LT said I didn't deserve it and if I showed up at muster with it on he would rip it off.
I did , he didn't , and he was transferred short while later to Washington D.C. and mustered out......... glad to be aboard (I guess he was ticked because I wouldn't sign off on his sea quals)

- Third time is a charm they always say. I kept taking the test and passing but not selected. The last time I took the test, I left the exam knowing for sure I failed it. When the list came in and people were congratulating me, I thought they were kidding. I was in VP-49 at the time.
