"I was Blackshoe, Bluewater Navy but I know enough about Seals to know that Seal Team 6 is made up of several different teams."
"William, I was at Great Lakes the same time as you were. I was 1st Platoon Leader, Company 353. I was about a month behind you. I joined the Navy in Hawaii and was suppose to go to San Diego for boot camp, you are correct about Sprinal Meningitis…"
"They'll authorize a Cold War Medal when most of us are dead. I signed the petition and have decided that "Cold War Veterans" should and are proud of their service regardless if anyone cared then or now. Most of the people who decide, medal or no…"
"Navy wasn't the only thing I've done in my life but by God it was the best place to grow-up in the 60's!"
" Boats, I was in Royal just before you. Were Chief Sims and Chief Moore still aboard when you were? I see both of them from time to time."
"Louis, My wife's family is from your neck of the woods, do you know Steve Hall or his son Josh? I'm in south Florida and the tour doesn't get very close to me but I'm going to try to hook up if possible."
"Josh married a girl from Wiggins and Steve lived in Hattisburg. The Hall family farm is in Vancleave."
"The 1st Class Corpsmen on the Destroyer I was on (DD 872) was transfered to Vietnam and was KIA the first or second week he was there. Robert, you must have been in the group just before us at Great Lakes, we were in blues. Doug, OUTSTANDING…"
"Service week was when we had been at Boot Camp for awhile (don't recall how long) and they sent the Company to Mess Cooking etc. I was First Platoon leader and I was assigned a new arriving company to take around getting their uniforms, hair cuts…"
"Robert, I guess if I had looked I would have known we were at Great Lakes at the same time. I enlisted in July 1963 and was in Company 353 at Great Lakes. Sounds like we may very well have been in sickbay with the measles at the same time or very…"
"Robert, What year were you at Great Lakes? I was there the summer of 63 and I too caught the measles. I remember mopping and cleaning sickbay and standing at attention when the Dr. made his rounds. I didn't get set-back and finished with the…"
"I was three weeks behind you at Great Lakes, don't recall when I caught the measles but it was after service week. "
"Heck Bobby Jack now there are two of us on this site. Wonder why some of the other guys haven't joined? Perhaps the newness of the WEB has worn off or they've gotten so old they forgot they were in the Navy. When you have time let me know who[s…"
"Not only were Bobby Jack and I on the same ship at the same time we were both assigned to OC Div. "
