Served aboard from 1988-1989 as a Machinery Repairman
Was on board in the Pattern Shop from 1995 til decomissioning in January 96.
Was aboard the Stone Mar '81 - Aug '85. Started out in Weps Logistics, then went to Repair Dept, shop 38B/67E as LPO. I worked in Weps Dept off/on when they needed someone w/clearance for weps onloads, and anything that required a Top secret. Also stood duty weps officer. Then I made CPO & got transferred. Good duty on the Stone.
It seems that I must have just missed you and Dennis in fact you were probably replacements for a few of us that were moving on at that time. I went to A school after already being stationed on the Stone and left the foundry to go to SD for a while with a guy named Todd Wuerdeman who retired as an MLC, and Jeff Dozier who I joined the Navy with. When we came back we had talked a few of the other students (who were all in the top 5 at school) to go with us and Robbie Jenkins was one of those guys another was Greg McKinley. Do you keep in touch with Robbie? It would be nice to track him down. I think he was from Knoxville TN if I recall correctly. The Yellowstone Foundry was great duty for me and I made alot of freinds. We were proud to do a dangerous job that scared alot of other people. Long live the Sandrats!
