Would like to know the name of your shipmate from Danville, Ill. as I live a few miles from there. Served on the Greene 1960-1961 TAD to Radar school
I served on the green from September 63 September 65. Lots of work and plenty of fun would do it again in a minute
Served, but not really honorably, from 69 till 72 in Bravo3 as Boilerman. Sorry I don’t remember names on here from same time without looking at cruise books which I still have. Do remember CO Dietz. Had CP. Mast with him and a XO Mast while he was on board. Still had a good time even though I was young and really dumb. So hello to those I served with and those I still miss B. Sheehan, G. Moore,. J. Weir, J. Kellter? and those in the IC rate if I’m correct. And yes I do remember the Green Machine. I was buddies with all of them even crazy BM3rd class Parker I believe.
Served on the Greene 1960-1961 out of boot. Was TAD radar A school. Left to school just prior to the Med cruise and missed out on much. Was on deck gang at first but moved up to radar later. Remember very few, but I do remember Bowles and Olson from the deck gang. Can’t remember anyone from radar. Very sad. I think I do remember Crowley who posted on this page. Was on board during the Dominion Republic dictator assassination and were sent down. An awesome sight and display of Naval power. Never any mention of this in any publications. The DDR seems to be a forgotten ship but not by me. GREATEST time of my single life . Calm winds and following seas!!! Buy the way, to Earl Brown, would like to know the name of your friend from Danville, Ill., as I live just 8 miles from there and just missed serving with him by a short time.
I served on the “steaming Green” from 62 until 67. Saw a lot of the world, including Vietnam. I was a BT2 when I left, and made BT1 shortly after leaving. A great bunch of troops in “B” Division. Diagnosed with asbestosis, but I’m 77, and still here.
