Years Served: July 1956 – July 1959…I went aboard the Sproston right out of Fire Control Technician school at Great Lakes, IL. Soon after I was promoted to FT3, then to FT2 a year later. I served for over a year as a Master At Arms (it got you to the head of the chow line). I remember when we first practiced with the then new submarine Nautilus. Then the Skipjack. They were so superior to our underwater fire control system and armament that we all knew we were goners of the Russians had anything like them. But, hey, the Sproston was home for three years and the memories are really good, but fading.
Years Served: 1963 – 1965…SHSN, Laundrymen with J Coker, and G Washington. Best times deck force with N Mitrano, J Johnson, B Gordon, K Flatten, and the ship’s cook White. I was a loader on a 5 inch 38. I’ve kept in touch with Mitrano and Gordon, but I would like to hear from others. I can’t make this year’s reunion, but hopefully I will make it next year.
Years Served: Dec.1966-Sept.1968…Forward Fireroom. Does anyone remember the Road Runner Flag?
Years Served: 1696-1968…Henry I remember the Roadrunner Flag and the PA system playing the song I’m a Raodrunner Baby on the breakaway, after refueling.
