Great to have you aboard !! I live near Millington, TN. and have my whole life. My father worked there from 1944 - 1976 as a civilian. Take care.

On to AC school at NATTC Millington, Tenn. (academic drop)
AFUND P at NATTC Millington
Assigned to NAS Memphis while awaiting orders.
Sent to the Fleet to join the crew on the USS Independence CV-62
MY BOAT!
Left the Indy to go to School for CSP
Went to NETTC, Newport, RI to serve as Brig Staff at the Naval Brig.

I currently help my USS Independence Shipmates as her curise book historian.

Well, thank you. So far I'm damned glad to be here!
Yeah, I like Millington for the time I was there. Nice town, and great white lighting...

[MORTARDUDE]

White "lighting" ? Did you mean white lightning ?

[Keith_Hixson]

WELCOME!

You weren't running booze on the Independence, were you?

That Must be what the White Lightening is all about. :D

Yeah, spelling is not my forte. There was an old man who ran a gas station on Military Highway, man did he sell gas!

Nope, I ran no booze on the Indy. I did run into some BT punch, and some bilge whine now and then..
