Glad to come aboard. Hope to look up old squadronmates.
Detractors would call that a "Freudian Slip." I was only off by 30 years.
Thank you.. Looking for fellow Seabees from CBMU302 NAVCAT detachments, that served in Vietnam.
Thanks Chief, It was an honor to be able to serve my country. I served aboard the USS Dennis J. Buckley DD/DDR 808 for 3 years then USNR for 3 years. Thanks again for the warm welcome.
Yep, can't be more than 435 miles from Sparks to Primm
Not sure what part it was, but I take your word that I "typoed." I do that with alacrity. Its a Geezaer thing. For (corrective record), I enlisted on 16 August, 1949,at St. Louis, Missouri, and retired on 1 September, 1979 at Commander Fleet Activities, Yokosuka, Japan..
Advanced to chief September 1961, senior chief 1967, master chief September 1970. I hope that works out the "kinks" created by my no longer fleet, flying fingers, and thanks for pointing them out to me.
Thank you for the greeting! I was born and raised in Michigan, and have the USN to thank for opening my eyes to a much larger world, and many fond memories from my 7 years of service. Hope you are enjoying your well earned retirement.
