I was with VA34 1961-1963. We made same med cruise. I was a brown shirt during the cruise. Small world.
Hey chief, it's good to hear from you. Worked in airfames shop with you in Oceana, and a as a flight deck trouble shoorter when out to sea. Airframes was the only shop with it's own portholes, and checkers table. Look forward to seeing you in September.
Hey Chief!
Glad to see you here on NavyVets and welcome to VA-85. I remember your name Joel but can't quite place the face. I even looked you up in the '78 Med Cruise book but you're not there. That said, you'll have to help me out. If you have some pics you're willing to show us, feel free to upload them in your profile. If you're not already familiar with the upcoming reunion, more info can be obtained in the EVENTS section of NavyVets. Look up Attack Squadron VA-85. Meantime, enjoy reading through the comments and chime in if you want to get some scuttlebutt going. -Al
