Was attached to VAQ-139 and made the '94 WestPac. Sure enjoyed it. It was by far the best ship of them all. I wanted to make the '96 WestPac but got transfered just before deployment. Made all the workups for cruise then got sent to Sunny San Diego... Bummer.

I was stationed on the " Starship Vinson" from 1981-1985, She was in Newport news Va when i Reported to her, I'm a Plankower ( I don't know what part i own ) , I took her around the world the LONG WAY , 8 1\2 mounths . I was in Deck 2nd Div , Became a Masterhelsman on that cruise, All so a Royal Diamond Shallback . Just wish i had learned a trade when i was in there, Should have made rank higher then a seamen . At that time i did see why i needed to make rank , I was young & did not know what i wounted to with my life. You live a you learn , Let me tell you i learned alot after 4 years in the Navy.
