My name is Eddie Einhellig I served on the Gilmore in 77 to 79. I came aboard in December. I was a dental assistant just out of A school. It was a beautiful place for my first tour of duty. It would be great to hear from others dental tech or medical tecs

Serve on the Gilmore Dec 1968 to Nov1970 in the Deck Division Bm 3 Head of the painting. Especially over the side. Chief Jeffcoat was the head of the deck division He came aboard while were in Gitmo Cuba. I remember we were throwing everyone in the water and he was one of the few that wasn’t, He rolled up his pant legs and waded in too his knees.
