MD,

A Ratcenter is any given Navy or Marine chow hall! ;-)

Welcome aboard, firemedic!

Welcome Firemedic,

I am reeb, another one of the "castaways" on here.

Always glad to see another Swabbie.

Missed ya in Boot Camp, I was in Great Lakes in 65, Missed in Nam, I left there in 69, but sure the heck wont miss ya here.

Sparrowhawk is a good one here under Navy, and there are ALOT of good ones on here, so, pull the cork out and take a swig, and enjoy the company of Veterans/families/and others.

enough.........

Default Firemedic...

As everyone else I say Welcome Aboard, since ANYONE having signed on the bottom line to put his butt on the line for Family, Friends and Country,...is A-OK in my book. Plus, any like yourself having daily put their butts on the line TO SAVE Friends in need,...DESERVES front page status IN ANYBODY's BOOK. No ifs, ands or buts (nor butts).

My Salute, GarryOwen & Welcome to-yuh,
Neil

Firemed,

Welcome home big brother. And let me say, thank you to you for your service and your willingness to go and fight during such a tough time in the world. Thank you for your best efforts to bring those guys home, I'm sure you did all you could for each of them.

Thank you,

As far as I can remember, 'RatCenter, Memphis is what we called NATCenter(NavalAirTraining Center) in Millington, Tennessee. Doesn't seem as bad of a palce now as it did when I was there in '68. Either I've forgotten the bad times, or I've grown up since then.
