"Very cool! Always nice to meet another shipmate from the Sparkle "C". As it turned out, my son is now stationed at NAB Little Creek as part of Special Boat Team 20...SWCC! I recently went back down the base back in November...wow...lots of memories.…"
"Akron born, joined in 1986, bootcamp in Orlando, stationed aboard the USS Spartanburg County (LST-1192) until I was released from active duty and honorably discharged in September 1990."
"Thanks Bill. Yes, I served from 1987 - 1990. Your son Doug and I served together. The photos he posted looked awfully familiar. Looks like they were right out of the cruise book. You can find me in there as well...X-Division. I was a Personnelman…"
Hey Tim, It looks like you me and Doug are the only ones on here from our era right now. I was on the Sparkle C 1988-92. I remember you well. It's good to see you on here too.

Hello Tim,
I served on the Sparkle City 1974-76. I began in 1st Div and later used the striker program to go into Supply as an SH. I had a lot of good times and made some good liberty ports on her. She gave a heck of a ride!!!!
How are you?! Great to see you on here. Your name rings a (strong) bell... 20 years sucks the gray matter out though, doesn't it? I was an EM2 and got my SW on the Spartanburg.
