Years Served: 1967…:) I came on the Compton from the uss springfield clg7 in January of 1967. It was a real shock coming from a flag ship to a reserve trainer. I was a QM3 i had a great time and met a bunch of great friends. I got out of the Navy in September of the same year. I would be happy to hear from any old ship mates.
Years Served: 1967-1969…I served under Ralph Garza and was in charge of the Boatswain’s locker. Also was a leading seaman with my own duty section.
Years Served: Late 1962 to August 1964…I came aboard in December 1962. As with all destroyers, we were at sea a lot. We left for the Med in June of `64. I got out out during the Med cruise. I enjoyed my time on the ship. After getting out I came back to Oklahoma and have been here since. I went to my first reunion this year in Branson, Mo. I plan on being at the next one. SK3
Years Served: 1961-1963…8) I was aboard from Dec 61 to Jan 63. was in div.made med cruise trip to yards in Boston, Cuban blockade,and trip to bermuda for x-mas. many good friends. would do it all over again
