Thanks, Bos'n. My Big Brother retired as SCPO. Blackshoe. Hullfitter (I think). Last five or sixyears all on Subtenders anchored at ports and then retired at Kings Bay. He was a sand crab at Kings Bay when he passed away a couple of years ago. I sure miss him.
I was a first class boatswainsmate who was passed and selected for Chief. I was medically discharged before I got to put the khakis on.
I spent seven and half years, my entire relatively short career in the Amphibious Assault Navy ALL of it aboard ship. When I was a Third and Second Class (E4 - E5) I drove the Mike 6 and Mike 8 boats that hauled the Marines into the beach. I guess what they say MARINE means is true, My A$$ Rides In Navy Equipment
Not true for me. I never once rodein Navy equipment. Marine air wing. When I traveled we shoved our shop in a Marine C-130 and flew to our destination.
