"Richard C. Cox - I was on the Westpac cruise in '68. I can assure you we did NOT pull into DaNang Harbor, or any other port in Vietnam, during that cruise. "
"Cecil,
How the hell are you? What a pleasant surprise. Where are you and what have you been doing? I'm in Colorado. Lots to tell. I hope you're doing well. Kids okay? Remarried? You can reach me at pdlister@yahoo.com. You just made my evening.

"m,
I remember the TraDevMen. I changed rate from AO to AW right around the time the TDs became AWs. Coincidentally, while we were cleaning out our storage room last night, I came across the gabardine dress blues I retired in, gold crow, hash marks,…"

"I wonder how many of our shipmates were aware that in November of 1963, the Navy operated a C-130 from the flight deck of Forrestal. It was the only time in history that the Herc made a carqual. CNO just wanted to know if it was feasible. Turned out…"
"ME,
What a treat. How nice to hear from you. How have you been? My wife, Dianne, and I are living in northern Colorado now, but anticipating moving to the Houston area next year. It's been an interesting journey since VP-68. I hope you're well and…"

"Sir, I doubted not that you knew exactly where those Prime Meridians were. My comments were for the sake of those not as navigationally enlightened as we.

"James, that's just a waste of an asset. That boot on the bow, the one looking for the international date line, could have been the mail buoy watch, without having to use two different guys to perform the two different, but nonetheless critical,…"
"I heard about them, too. I was an airman when we left Norfolks on my second Med Cruise. Some 1st class who thought I had just reported in sent me to find a couple fathoms of waterline. I went back to the compartment and took a nap. I showed up back…"
"Actually, Richard, if you cross the Greenwich Meridian exactly at the equator, you'd be off the coast of Africa, south of the Ivory Coast, south of Ghana and west of Sao Thome, in the Atlantic, as you stated."
"Checked aboard in January of '68. AO3 in WG Div. Made the '68 WestPac and got out in December of '68. She was a fine old ship, and I enjoyed the entire tour."
"Retired AW1 Oct. '86. Not a native of Colorado, but I got here as soon as I could! Living in Greeley.VP of Retired Military Vets of Weld County."
