John Brian Francis left a comment on USS Detroit AOE-4
"Served aboard the Detroit from 1999 to 2001. Had a great time and the shipmates were great. Was in 2nd Division as a BM2. She was a great ship even with all the bad publicity she got. Was sad to see her made into razor blades."

Did my time in RTC Orlando in June `1987. Lot of fond memories. Got caught with a couple of shipmates by a Company Commander sneaking back to the barracks with sodas. We had to do pushups over the cans for hours.
