39mto39G: don't make me any older then I alread feel....(-:
I enlisted in the Navy in 1957 at age 17.
I went to Vietnam in 1967 aboard a destroyer, some of the grunts seemed pleased to see us when we gave them fire support. Was there for the 68 TET... thought I had come to the worlds largest fireworks show.... "Whole Damn country was lit up"
Seatjerker: I talked with Bits several time on the old veterans.com and a yahoo site we both worked. I live in central Louisiana, kinda live in the boonies... was setting on my porch a few days ago and a 5 foot snakes crawls up on the railing. My wife was not happy.
Anyway thank ya'll for the welcome and look forward to telling some sea stories.
I lived over seas a lot of years in far east and Africa and I have lived lots of places in U.S. also. Retired from civilian at Navy base in Keyport Washington in 1993
Regards.
Edgar
