  • Thank you for the welcome aboard Chief, glad to be on board with my shipmates!

  • Thank You Chief.  I appreciate being welcomed to the family.

  • Thank you for the welcome aboard.

  • Thank you for the welcome

  • That is sad.  Having served in the 80's and more recently 6 years with the Army, I can say the military from my empirical point of view is not what it was. 

  • That was wrong.  Shivers retired in 85, not long before I went to sea duty.

  • I do not recall a Terry Joyce.  Chief Lyles is red headed.  He said some funny things to this E-2, most not repeatable that I came to understand better as I got older...  I liked working for him.  I remember going to Master Chief Smith's house with another corpsman who had originally been a striker on a boomer.  We replaced his roof for him. I wonder if you ever had the opportunity to run into a Chief David Shivers.  He came off the USS Tullibee a year or so before its last cruise and worked with us in the clinic until he retired in 87 I believe.  Only guy I had met that wore Surface Warfare, Dolphins, and a Seal pin.  he was a piece of work, and a treasure of clinical knowledge he willingly passed along.

     

  • Hey Chief! NSSF was the place to be.  You got there right after I left for the Mississippi CGN-40.  Wonder if you remember Chief Lyles, HM1 Donna Hess?  They ran the lower base sick call at NSSF.  Not the Sub School clinic.  Master Chief Smith was at NSSF as well, but not connected to the clinic.  Great memories being a Corpsman.  Best job I ever had.  Re-enlisted 18 years later into the Army National Guard.  I as active Guard for a few years.  Made E-5, then transferred to Army Reserve as a medic.  Got out a year and a half ago.  War is for young men.  Don't regret any of it though.

     

  • Thank you, u do the same!
