Served on the old girl from 67-69. Left in 69 to go to in country Vietnam. Spent many nights steaming with BM3 Dickie. I remember BM1 Garza, a great guy. Retired in 1993 as Force Master Chief. Would like info on reunions.
Served aboard Compton 11/68-5/70 in 1st Division under BM1 Garza. Knew BM1 Mariner, BM2 Curry, BM3 Dicky, BM3 Davis, BM3 Oakley. Transferred as BM3 to Richard L. Page, DEG5, 5/70. Appointed BM2 9/72 USNR Center Cincinnati, OH. Honorably Discharged 9/74.
