"Al, the reunion was great! A special thanks to RC, he put in alot of hard work to make it happen. I tend to agree with Barry and Tony. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. VA-85, NAS Oceana, and Va. Beach are the three things we all have in common. …"
"I was in VA-85 from '67 to '70 when I got out. Made the Wespac cruise on the America & the Connie, both with the Line Crew. It was a great bunch of guys."
Hi Jim and welcome to VA-85. I imagine the squadron was quite different back then, but then again, maybe not. I also spent a little time on the line. It was hard work but we had some good times. Tell me, was "court" (aka initiation) held back then? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, well then maybe it was after your tour. Oh well, if you have some pics you're willing to share, don't hesitate to post them and go ahead and tell us some sea stories. If you read through the comments, you may be reminded of a few episodes during your experience.
