Years Served: 1954 – 1957…The best years that I spent in the Navy was on the old E.A. Greene.
Years Served: 1964 – 1965 – 1966…Started out in the wonderful deck force (necessary evil). Went into the Ship’s Office after 6 months and worked with YN1 CHETAITIS, PN2 WAY, YN3 STONE. A great group of people. Also close friends with CS3 Tommy Krass & YNSN Bud Tirak of Erie, Pa. It was great sea duty with a great crew. I would love to do it all over again. I attended the reunions in 94 (NORVA) and 95 (Charleston). I wish they would go back to NORVA. I also would love to hear from anyone who remembers me. After I left the GREENE I returned to CIVLANT but after l8 mos. I went back in. I wound up in the career recruiting force retiring in Jun 1986 as a YNCS and a Zone Supervisor in Columbus, Oh. I currently have 22 yrs. service with the Ohio Dept. of Corrections working at the maximum security prison in Lucasville, Oh.
Years Served: 1957-1958 SN…I would love to hear from some of my old ship mates that I served with. I went by Tennessee.Does anyone remember the UFO?
Years Served: …My father S1 George J. McEvoy served on the Greene between 1944 and 1949 as a signalman and fireman. He had many fond memories of his service. I’d like to say thank you to all the service men and women of our country’s greatest generation.
Years Served: 1971-decomishining…the greene was my first ship. i was an HTFN we did a med cruise in 73 i believe. i remember shipmates named kesnick, hovendick, rupel, troutman, and many others. i remember our co, capt patti, who one time stopped the ship in the middle of the ocean and launched his captains boat and took us all out (a few at a time) to drink a couple of 711 beers, (remember when 711 stores started up? they had 711 beer). i had alot of respect for that man after that. it was a great time an i salute all DD711 shipmates!
