Hey Dave, Mike Janeski here, pre-com unit 72-75. I am a member of the association, and have attended one reunion. Had fun, and was going to attend the one in Philly, but 'whew' the prices for those hi-dollar hotel rooms gave me reason not to come.
As a Dental Tech, perhaps you knew Freddie Ott, and DT1 that was one of the first dental techs on board. Fred had a little accident with a .25 cal. handgun,and shot himself in the hand with it. A real big guy, with real thick hands,..the bullet lodged under the skin on the upper side of his hand. In Fred's words "After I got home from the hospital, the first damn thing I did was get a bigger pistol and got rid of that little pea shooter."

sorry its been a while, I spend all my free time scratching at cracks in bedrock for gold up around central ALASKA.
im in the middle of my appeal to a rejection they gave me, due to no proof.
I remember by the time I met you down in dental I was really hurting, especially my neck
im really embarrassed about what happened after but I had a big old pile heaped up on me from home and there on the ship.
the VA. denied me back when I first got out, so I didn't push, not knowing how the system worked back then.
now im trying to find a witness or two as my condition then.
Ive been trying to narrow down the days to exactly when I was on that detail, with several others from other divisions, but not sure how or were to go.
When that trunk hit me it really screwed me up and I was complaining pretty regular, but the records don't show those visits to medic..
ive been classified 50% so far but that was from other service.
let me know if you have any ideas that might help id really appreciate it.
thankyou JOE E. WOLFE
I was in A-Gang. :)
I WAS REALLYIN BAD SHAPE BY THE TIME I GOT MY WISDOM TEETH PULLED CAUSE I OVERDOSED ON THOSE PERCODANS I WAS ISSUED AFTER THE EXPERIANCE OF GETTING 5 WISDOM TEETH PULLED [ ONE SPLIT INTO]
DO YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING OF ME OR THAT DAY HOW I LOOKED OR ACTED, I SERIOUSLY NEED SOME KIND OF WITNESS.
