Thanks!
Thank you for the welcome Emmet. I appreciate it. Rota was a very good duty station. My wife and I were active in the Boosters Club supporting the school. I usually did sliders and she worked in the trailer fixing up hotdogs, etc. I often think of the setups for the various events and how hungry the Marines were when the 'gator freighters' came into port. The grills we used (barrel halves) could accommodate 96 sliders at a whack and sometimes we'd sell out a whole grill full to just four or five guys. Couldn't keep up with the demand the first day or so after those guys came in. Thanks again for the welcome. Jim
Thank you for the welcome Emmet.
Thank you for the welcome. I am interested in shipmates that attended hospital corps school from Nov. 1965 to March 1966. Also, interested in shipmates that were stationed @ Annapolis Naval Hospital from March 1966 - July 1967 & Wash., D.C. from Aug. thru Nov. 1967.
Thanks Emmet. Nice to be here.
Thanks for the welcome Emmit. Glover was a good ride, never made it to Gitmo but wast fortunate enough to be on the crew of the captains gig while in Marblehead Mass. 4th of July 1976. Marblehead being the home town of General John Glover of Green Mountain Boy fame.
