I'm just curious, but I believe that a good number of us here on the forum are presently serving or are veterans. I would like for all service members to post their branch and dates of service. Others can post thoughts or comments but veterans please post Branch of service, and dates of that service if you don't mind giving hints to your age! You could also list the branch of service for your children.
I'l get it started
Dad US Navy 1948-51
Me-US Navy 1973-77
Son-USMC 2003-present

National Service, thats something we should bring back here in the states. Military service or Peace Corps or something of at least two years duration.

Springer,

Hope your son comes home soon and in good spirits. It's not easy doing the moral thing and helping out. It can't be easy on the parents either.

My thoughts to your son, to yourselves, and to all who serve and have served,

With respect,

Pat

Yes, I have. In fact, that's where the Clamagore was home ported for many years. We had a reunion about 4 years ago in Charleston and approximately 50 of the guys I served with (from a crew of 75) showed up. It was amazing how old all those guys looked after 40 something years and how much smaller the boat had gotten. My riding buddy and I are planning a trip to Charleston in October. I will give him a guided tour of the sub, as well as the carrier and tin can Laffey that are also moored at Patriot's Point.
