Was stationed onboard from 1978 till I got out in Oct of 1979. Worked in “M” Division with MM2 Eric Warner, MM1 Dutch, MM2 Jamison, MM3 Bales Naugh, Kenny, BT Chief Tilbury to name a few. Played on the softball team (or practiced down at the Mole) Tried to set sail several times only to get tugged back into port. We finally set sail to Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, Ensenada and Acapulco and we made a gun run at San Clemente Island only to fail due to gyro not working. Good Times!!!
I was on the Henderson in 71-73. I was a MM-1. I had Bravo 4.
Years on the USS Henderson 1964-1964. RM3 I went to 3 or 4 ship regions. (Tenn. , Reno and Missouri). Sent all of my old Radiomen buddies a Henderson hat. Also Sent Gary Troxel a hat.
I spent most of my life in Irving, TX
First ship out of bootcamp. Sept. 66 to June 67. Made the Westpac and transferred upon returning to go through SEAR and combat training at Coronado and Camp Pendleton, then off to 13 months in Vietnam. I remember BM2 Colemire. I ran into him later on in my Navy career on the Uss Nashville. He was an NCC. I retired in 1990 as CTO1.
I remember Chet Lizak, Charles Roe, and David Billheimer
