"Where are you now? Retired yet?"

Ron Mercurio replied to Dave Boomsma's discussion looking for my chief in USS Orion AS-18

"Sorry, never heard of him, my tours on the Orion were in the 80's & 90's."

Ron Mercurio replied to William (Bill) Karr ETC(SS)'s discussion DD-214's are now online

"Yes its legit but you still have to print out a form and snail mail it to the Natl Archives for signature verification. We have always been able to do that with just an old fashoined letter request."

Hello Ron. I was never stationed on the USS Hunley, but we used to tie up to her at the end of Pier Charley at NWS-Charleston (actually, Goose Creek). I was aboard the USS Ulysses S. Grant (SSBN 631). Of course, we had to cross Hunley's quarter deck to get from the boat to the pier. I noticed that it is your birthday. Happy Birthday! Hope all is well, and hope to see you around more.

Hello! Ron, Congrats on the retirement. I too was stationed on the Hunley but many years before you. I was a Torpedoman Missle Handler while she was in Charleston from 68-70 and crossed to Guam with her then caught the Proteus(AS-19) back to Vallejo,Ca. for drydocking.
