Years Served: 1953-1955…The friendship of shipmates still exists today at REUNIONS and thru E-mails. Hope to see you in Norfolk in 2009?
Years Served: 1965-1967…It’s nice to hear from old Shipmates once in awhile, I know sometimes it is hard to remember so long ago, but as I look through the list of names I recall quite a few. I was a BT3 in 1967 when I left the Putnam went to Illinois for a couple of months rejoined and went to San Diego. In 1970 I returned to Norfolk, Va on shore duty, then went to Philly for b-school, ended up on the Sylvania AFS 2 Left the Navy in 1973.
Years Served: 1972 to 1975…Hello everyone, I was on the USS Putnam from 1972 to the decommission then transferred to the USS William C. Lawe. I was an Engineman 3rd class, (A gang) so we were around most everyone on the ship. A gang kept you all happy and comfortable.
Years Served: Jan 1965 – Feb 1968…Ship Mates
Years Served: 1969-1971…I arrived on the Putnam in Oct. 69 just before it went in to the yards in Baltimore. I was one of the original crew that went to New Orleans.
