OK Parson..
I see, like me the Nav had it's "effect"
on yee<G> The thing is that for me it was
a brief tour.. and I am amazed it took you
12 years to have yur fill...
I'm looking back over 29 years amigo, can't
remember a ding-dang thing of High School but
am "haunted" by fan sounds and the smell of
foam green pain and old spice<G>
Here's a few questions from 'ole -=A=-
1. Was the civilian economy so shot that the
Navy looked better, when you came to re-up?
2. How in heck, would a blue water sailor find
himself able to be attractive to a young christian
lady and be able to work that into marrage?
Ranger DJ floored me by starting up a RR outpost
at a Yokosuka,Japan chapel... *that I had sat in
1971 and felt 1 million miles from home.
3. I wonder from yur perspective what the legecy
is of the Viet-nam era Navy that you replaced?
(*I have my own opinion<G>)
Thanks-
SkSN Wheeler
