Yeah, it does seem like another lifetime. BUT, I tell my stories and show my pictures and just leave it out there for others to look over and reminisce. I never saw Vulcan as I was on the West coast, but I knew the other three pretty well. We traded off on WESPAC duty, so we saw the others fairly often. I only served aboard the one ship, so I never knew the joy of packing all my crap and going to another ship. Didn't miss that at all......

Thanks for that information. I will check into it.
Where did you get your "Cold War Veteran" patch? I need one.

Howdy. I rode a Vulcan Class AR as well. You and I were in at almost the exact same time. I was just a month behind you.
Welcome aboard shipmate, May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas!
Thank you for your service.
