I was attached to The Gilmore from 1997-1980 when she was Returned to the states for Decommishing
- I came aboard Dec. 1974 - 75. After compartment cleaner and mess hall, I became Coxswain of the OMB ( officer motor boat ). On R&R trip to Nice or Malaga I had mid watch an somebody tossed Oscar overboard. They dropped crew and I into the dark ocean that night in one of the whaler boats.Had to go get Oscar. Are paths have surely crossed as every chance I had, I would invite enlisted to ride in front compartment of my OMB back to ship. Picked up " Pistol " Pete Marivich once for USO show at the gym. I remember some belly dancers to. And who could forget the beer hall ? Those sub guys were crazy as hell. Where any of you in Rota Spain when Franco died ? That might have been aboard the Kennedy CV-67 a year later. Remember Martha ? We all fell in Love with her. I also rode a mo-ped that I traded a carton of Marlboro's for. Anybody been to Olbia lately ?
IM1 - Rode her from Key West to La Maddalena. 73-75 (?)
I was an HT2 in DC shop, (73/74)
PM3 Gene Young, reported for duty April 1976 as the ship returned from Nice, France. Departed @April 1977. Anybody from that time period onboard? Served under PMC Gerald Moerke, Ltjg Hortsmyer R-1 Divison Pattermaker/Carpenter/Lagging Locker. Oh, how I detest boat beading and white lead. Made many plague backs for every boat that came along side.
If interested email me and I will send a picture. Make check payable to Amvets Post 101 for $25.00
