Years Served: 1960-1962…I Would Like To Hear From Someone Who Remembers Me. I Played A Guitar.
Years Served: 1971 USNR Cruise, Seattle Washinton…When I first stepped aboard this Reserve Tin Can in March 1971 the Quarter Deck Piped and announced, Epperson Arriving. Little did I know they were not talking about me but about the Captian who was coming aboard with our orders for the cruise. I had a wonderful two weeks serving aboard the namesake of my third cousin who died saving his fellow Marines from a live granade in WW ll. The USS Epperson served long and proud. My Naval career was enhanced by my pride in this ship effectionatly called Eppy just as I was called from Boot Camp all the way to OCS. Anchors Away My Boys.
Years Served: 1962-1965…Love to hear from old shipmates
Years Served: 4…I served on the Eppy from July of 1970 until Feb. of 1972. Radio Shack supervisor for 2 Westpacs. Played on our awesome basketball team that lost by one point to the huge Enterprise.
Years Served: 1966-1967…Came from San Diego TAD out of D.A.S.H. school to Epperson DD-719 as part of Dash Crew. Was nice working with aviation people for a change. I was the one who fueled the Huey`s off of the fan-tail along the coast of Nam!! And found out after I left the ship a Huey landed on our deck! COOL!! :D
