  • opps the next time

  • On the Truxtun (CGN version) we were happy to get below and get a shower, it was a long day and we were just happy to have become "Shellbacks" and were willing to wait until yje next time :)

  • They wouldn't let us do that,Nick,or me& about 100 NEWBIES would have jumped back in line to have a little fun,but our XO & BMC were watching us like an albatross on a sardine.

  • It's amazing how fast the new Shellbacks grab a whacker and get in line to dish out some medicine to the "Wogs" still coming through. If I'd know that, I would have fought harder to be at the front of the line...Here's the "Royal Doctor's" giving me the business...heh heh heh!!

  • All Poly Wogs meet their fate and become Shell backs! Or they remain "wogs" for the rest of their lives!

  • When I was in the torpedo gang there was an outside Lt JG who had absolutely NOTHING to do with the tm gang,but kept nosing in & asking embarrassing questions,even to our chief torpedoman,but guess what...YEP! He was a LOWLY SCUMBAG POLLYWOG...And guess what...YEP!! We got him.ha ha ha

  • Crossed the first time on 18 April 1972 enroute Yankee Station on the USS Saratoga CV-60. I remember like it was yesterday!  

  • Our memorbalia is part of our lives. I would say that you are now a part of the USS Salem museum.

  • I kept min e also, over a year ago I donated a bunch of memorbalia to the USS Salem museum. Really have no one to leave it to, decided to donate to a floating museum, so future generations can see it!

  • Crossed a couple times on the USS Hornet CVS 12. It is something you will always remember. Still have my old rump Whacker
