Former U.S. Navy members....

[wyliec]

I'm just wondering if there may be former shipmates on here, and not know it. I was on the USS Hunley AS-31 from 67-69, and then shore duty at Damneck VA tip 71. Any hits?

Without the History of Assignments page (NAVPERS 1070/605), it's difficult to remember the dates, but the names are still with me:

USS Damato (DD-871) Newport RI
USS Fort Fisher (LSD-40) San Diego CA
VP-44 NAS Brunswick ME
USS Sea Devil (SSN 664) Charleston SC
USS Alexander Hamilton (SSBN 617) Groton CT
VF-74 NAS Oceana VA (w/USS Saratoga)
VAQ-138 NAS Whidbey Island WA (w/USS Nimitz)
USS Valley Forge (CG-50) San Diego CA

And I enjoyed nearly every month of it.

We used to frequent the Oceana EM club from 69-71, and I was in Charleston (67-69) on a sub tender for nukie boats. Close, but no cigar.

Anybody serve on Greasy George? As a Marine the George Clymer dropped me off along with several hundred of my fellow Marines on a beach in Chu Lai Vietnam in August 1965. She has quite a battle history going back to WWII.
