Years Served: 1967-1968…correction for my last entry Terry Moore should be Terry Murphy Sorry Murph !!!
Years Served: 1967-1968…got out in 1968 as signalman sm2……..what a great experience…..grew up and learned alot about myself…..thanks to the ensign that pulled me out of the hole and ask me if i wanted to be a signalman…..his name was bob ? from indiana……….as for all my sigalman gang ….you were the greatest and i will never forget the memories we created together!!!!!!! here are some names,love to hear from you john gore ,jupiter ,fl steve ottis terry moore jenkins russel boyette john mcdaniels
Years Served: 1968-1971…I was EM2 when I left in 1971 and head of the electrical gang from our Med Cruise until leaving. Would love to hear from shipmates. Names I remember are Duck, Navarez, Don Rodgers, andso many more In engineering.
Years Served: 1956 – 1959…Some of the best times of my life were spent on the Greene. Good to see some of the crew still around.
Years Served: 4…I was onboard the USS Waccamaw AO-109 in the Med, summer 1970. The USS Green was coming alongside when she lost steering resulting with her slamming our starboard side aft with her forcastle. She left her starboard anchor on our whaledeck. It scared the hell out of me. I was standing on the working deck and saw the Green’s mast go almost horizontal while her hull wrapped around our fantail. I thought for sure the Green lost sailors overboard. Fantastically, no one was lost. We went to Souda Bay Crete where the Green was getting a new starboard side (forecastle). A barge crane came and got the anchor. That was the last time I saw the USS Green.
