Welcome to the USS Jonas Ingram DD-938 Guestbook Forum

On board 1981-1983 at Diego Garcia.Thanks for the memories.

Noticed a few names,John Stone who ate dog in Italy,
Mike Hascker who was in 1st division

My first DD. Retired 31July 96 as a SCPO. Loved the " JOLLY J I ".!!!!!!!

Spent 6 months aboard the jolly ji. I learned that the lowest form of bilge shit in the navy was a ex nuke yankee from New York. Learned that life was not fair but took whatever came my way. It was not always fun but made me a better man. I’ve has been good to me and I thank the Navy.

Are there any former crew members of the U.S.S. Jonas Ingram who served from 1963-1965. I am looking for someone who might remember Ensign then Lt. J.G. John Kays. If so, please share anything you can remember.

My brother, John, passed away last year. I thought if I could find a tale or two, it would be a terrific memento to share with the family.

Thanks in advance!

K.E. Kays

STG2 aboard 1972 – 1973. Left the ship in Mombasa Kenya for discharge.

Served on the Jonas Ingram 77-79. Loved destroyer life after 2 years on CVA 42. DD938 had a wonderful crew and serving aboard was an honor.

Donald Posman, USN, sailed out of Mayport, Florida, on the Jonas Ingram during the early to mid 1970s. He has passed away in West Virginia at the age of 69 after a short illness. He attended a reunion of DD938 Sailors in Warwick, Rhode Island, a few years ago, and was proud to reunite with his mates. May he rest in peace.

B division would like to hear if there is a reunion of all the old crew of 65 to 67
