"I was at the clinic for the last few months I was in Florida in 83. Really enjoyed it but definitely got hectic with a crash there. S3 and A7 collided on runway. Sad day there."
"Was stationed at Roosevelt Roads from January 84 to November 85. Would love to find people from that time! Best duty station ever!"
Was there from 82 to end of 83. Anyone else stationed there?

Hey Susan,
I was stationed there from Jul "84" - Jul "87". Assigned to AIMD, W/C 400 Power Plant Shop. My rate was AD and was a 2nd Class Petty Officer. I served 10yrs which I had to be Medical Discharged because while on Deployment on the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43), I fractured my back (L-4). I had three surgeries at Portsmouth Naval Hospital (PNH) so therefore I was unable to retire like I planned.

Hi. Sorry to disappoint. I preceded you as a corpsman at "Rosy" from June 1968 until June 1970. It's designation at that time was Dispensary. I noticed that you refer to it as a Naval Hospital. Several years ago I was attempting to obtain my Navy medical records and at one point I spoke to a female, I think in St. Louis, who also was a corpsman who had been stationed at "Rosy". I live in a somewhat rural area with many towns populations in the mere thousands. A couple weeks ago I was in an establishment and in generally speaking to an employee there learned that he too had been a corpsman stationed at....you guessed it...Roosevelt Roads. It too was after my tenure there. I'm sure I'll be seeing that gentleman again and will ask for more detailed information; and will pass it on to you if appropriate. I've had no luck in finding anyone I was stationed in Puerto Rico with. It's a shame what happened to the place even before last years hurricane.
