Hi Chief,
can any swab join? Or do you need to be "career Navy"? retired
Hi there. Did 25 years. Best memories were on the sweeps. USS Exultant and cross decking to the USS Dominant -- 1974 - 1978.
Big adjustment in Navy career was going from USS Springfield (CLG7)/COMSIXFLT to what I call fondly Mchales Navy - on the sweeps. I vaguely remember seeing sweeps tied up in Naples, Italy 1964-64 and wondering what class ship it was. Loved the comradeship on the sweeps.
Welcome aboard mate, glad your here.
