Years Served: 1973-1975…I was a BM in 2nd Div. I caught the Midway in Alameda & Rode it to Japan. I got sick a few times after all those shots. But I’m fine now. I live on the north Oregon coast & have made the road trip to sunny San Diego four times. Last time was 4-30-2010 that was the 35th anniversary of Operation Ferquent Wind. It was really cool seeing the bravest man alive. Yes i’m talking about the guy that packed his wife & 5 kids in that little Bird Dog and landed safely on the Midway. THAT WAS A BALLSY MOVE!!!!! I got out as soon as we got back to Japan.

Years Served: 75-76…Just stumbled across this site and wanted to say that I have been trying to find a reason to visit the ship in San Diego. I’m hoping I can get a business trip in the area sometime this year. The best memory I have on the ship was the shellback initiation. I remember going to Singapore prior to the initiation and watching the Pollywog beauty contest afterwards. I also remember the captain wearing a hat after the “Royal Barber” had made a visit. Best time ever.
