Question for Service Veterans

[Sea Dawg]

Spoke with some one in LT.Cdr.'s office who works for my company. She called a few days ago. Mom & baby are fine. How well daddy is holding up is unknown. Son born on my father's birthday, a most auspicious date.

Ahoy, Kalamazoo and Camden. Many an unrep alongside on Connie in the 80's. "Tie me wallaby down mate" on breakaway. Classmate from High School was a deck officer at that time on one of them (didn't know till we connected at a HS reunion). Many a night keeping an a eye in the sky on you from the RO seat.

84Charlie, don't sweat it. The important thing is that you wanted and tried to serve. Just showing up under your own steam and getting rejected says a lot.

Far too many slugs out there are the "I could'a if I wanted to" variety.

What years on the Connie?? I was there 1984-1987. Kept an eye on the eye in the sky.

You missed seeing and doing stuff you will never see or do as a civilian. Some of that stuff sucked, some of it was awesome. Som eof it was just plain weird.

+1....That sums it up about as good as anything I've ever heard.
