Randy Bourland

Years Served: 82-84…I would have never dreamed at the time, that my fondest memories in life were the years spent in the Navy aboard the Ranger. I wish there was a way to do it all again! I worked in the ASWM group with a great team of AW’s, DP’s and DS’s.. Would love to take another S-3 flight to Diego Garcia, take a Jeepney ride down main street in the PI drinking a cold San Miguel or maybe even spend another week in Perth with all the beautiful ladies (don’t tell my wife :) ha ha. Hello to all my friends of ASWM- The greatest Sub Hunters and Computer Techs the Ranger every had!
