Years Served: 69 -71…Chief Electrician. Decommissioned her in Seattle. Bubble gum and baling wire kept her afloat the last few years. BUSHIPS finally put her out of her misery. Served on seven other ships so at my age I am afraid the crews are a blur. Remember a MMC Chico Cordero and a BTC Bob Bullet.
Years Served: 1950-1952…I WAS IN THE 1ST DIVISION DECK FORCE……..I WAS JACK 0F THE DUST…..I RAN WITH KENNETH FORD…..HE PASSED AWAY THIS YEAR…..GOD REST HIS SOUL.
Served 1955-1957 was on 1st Division but Boatswain Mate and I had disagreements so Captain made me a yeoman. Love it but when I made 3rd Class, was order to CINCPACFLT in Pearl. Was a vert unhappy so left for Home duty 8/1958.
