Years Served: 1966-1969…Served on board as an FTGC—would be great to hear from any CPOs who served with me—also any FTs, GMs or SOs.
Years Served: 1965-1971…I made ET2 while on board. Was on Putnam ‘67-’68. Best memories are spending Christmas-New Year in Monte Carlo and meeting Princess Grace and her children; also the Shellback cruise to Rio in the summer of ’68. Great Ship, great crew, awesome experiences. Am planning to be at reunion in Norfolk.
Years Served: 1962-1965…I served 62-65 on Putnam. Joined Putnam while she was in Brooklyn Navy Yard for Fram II. Navy then was very rough and tumble, unlike today.The yard birds at Brooklyn were the beat people on earth.
Years Served: 1946-1948…Went aboard in Dec 46, made 3rd class on Med cruise. Swapped with another RM3 from COMOPDEVFOR staff on USS ADIRONDACK in Feb 48 Would like to hear from him if he is still around.. Don’t recall his name…. Retired in 69 as LCDR…
Years Served: 1951…It was an experience
