  • Its hard to believe I've already been retired for five years!
  • 18 Oct 1978 - 31 Aug 2004. I had six years of drilling Reserve time from 82 - 88. I loved it! I still dream I am Active at least t times a week.
    Glad to be a part of this web site!
  • Happy Memorial Day to all. Check out my new pix posted to my site in memory of all
  • Coming up on seven years of being retired from the Navy, and to think when I went in back in April 1980, I was the youngest guy in boot camp and on my first ship. It really gives one perspective.
  • J.B.Atkinson/en1-ret .1958 to dec 1977,rode five ships out of norfolk.two tours in nam 65/66 73/74.
  • Thank you Bill for the welcome aboard.
    I'm a retired Storekeeper, Sept. 1980 - Apr. 2001.
  • Welcome aboard. Set your hooks and yarn awhile.
  • Hello all, glad to join this site. I am a retired navy storekeeper and my last duty station was aboard the USS Dallas SSN700 stationed out of Groton, CT. I still work for the navy in Newport, RI and work for a defense contractor. Can't believe I've been retired from the Navy for over 14years now!! Where does the time go???
  • Dan Your dad took Dwight D Eisenhower's say'n, brilliantly weaved in the age linkage and created a caveat for all of us dinosaurs. Well done to your old daddy. My favorite say'n these days is that " It's a shame youth is wasted on young people."
  • I first enlisted in June of 52, out in June of 55, back in in 55, and retired in Jan of 73, whick, if my math is still worth a damn, has me being retired for 36 years. But I'm still upright and taking nourishment, with an occasional lady friend thrown in, so it's worth it. My old daddy always told me that - "it ain't the age of the dog in the fight, but the amount of fight in the dog". GO NAVY !

One Huge Event

Greetings fellow Navy retirees! I served for twenty five years, and have told many sea stories. I like to categorize them just a little by putting them into Liberty wild tale type things, and Operations this is what happened on an exercise or evolution type thing. Do you have a really BIG EVENT that was very cool or maybe not so cool that you would like to tell the rest of us old salts?
