"As a Navy veteran, the lack of respect to the flag makes me violently ill. The lack of respect for the country itself even more so. One of the things I try to remember is that this (flag burner, person who talks during the National Anthem, use you…"
"How's it going brother? Long time no see. You still in Jacksonville?"
"Did you know PO1 Nelson or PO1 Witherell? They were my CCs during the timeframe you were stationed there."

"OMG! I was stationed at Roosey from 90-94 and that TA-75 you are sitting on was still in use. I remember cutting the MAF to have it pained white. That was the most rediculous Technical Directive I'd ever seen. Support Equipment had been yellow for…"
"Once upon a time, I used to believe solely because I wanted to believe. Then the more I watched these shows and read books, the less I found I could believe. Just none of it ever rang true to my gut. mainly because all of the photos and videos I've…"
"Chief, I believe I actually remember you. I was there as a member of Company C208 14 Aug 87 through 11Oct 87. Petty Officers Nelson and Witherell were my CCs."
"Welcome aboard shipmate! Very lovely family you have there!"
"Kevin,
I remember Blevins and Dye and I'm sure the rest of them would be one of those folks I'd stare at in a crowd and wonder where the heck I knew them from. I was - still am a pretty personable guy and took the time to yak with anyone that had…"

"Thanks Will. Glad to be here. Nice to see a site like this that doesn't require money to participate in. I'll be here for a while. Just curious, do I know you? You look familiar."
"Hi Will, I realized that if I knew you, it would not have been through the Navy. You just have one of those familiar faces. Can't say that I recognize the name Baldwin other than an actor by the same last name and where I went to boot camp was right…"
"I was in C208 14 AUG 87 thru 10 OCT 87. CCs were PO1 Nelson and PO1 Witherell. I recent'y (last week) went back to Orlando to see for myself what was left of it. Shameful that they didn't leave one thing, not one piece of evidence that it was ever…"
"Hello all, I was at AIMD from 87 to 90. Met lots of wonderful people. Wondering where they all are now. Ken, I think I might know you. I worked in Production Control. By April of 1988 I would have been AZAN Bonaccorso. I put on 3rd class on that…"
"I was at AIMD Roosy Roads from 90 Sep thru 94 Sep. Had a blast! I was AZ2 Bonaccorso and I worked in SE division most of the time but did two stints in main PC. Would love to hear from anyone who was down there at the same time."

Are you from Florida or did you just decide you liked it and stayed there? If I recall right Orange Park is just a short way from NAS Jacksonville.
I have a friend from Florida named David Baldwin whom I have been looking for for a long while. Have you ever ran across him by chance? I ask this because I have learned this is a small world. There is at least a possibility that we know many people who know others we've known. I'm sure you have found this to be true yourself. If you'll read the comments on my profile you'll find one of those examples. One friend whom I met on this site is married to a woman whose madien name is the same as my surname and she grew up not five miles from where I grew up. Also, his father served on one of the same ships as I.
