When were you on the JFK ?? Friend of mine reenlisted for the Belknap , and two weeks after he got onboard was when they run up under JFK in the Med ..
We were there then , when it happened .. nastee ..

Remember HumptyDumpty on the wall up near AFSouth ??

We took a taxi from fleet landing to AFSouth , less than fifteen minits , that was scary ..

Bagger, I'm in East Texas, so close to the LA border near I-20 that when I take a leak off the back porch it doesn't have time to evaporate before it's in the Red River flowing by Shreveport. Starting to sound like we could do a meet-in-the-middle for some of us.

yeah we could , tjmac is in shreveport I think .. Somewhere in Looseanna anyways ..
I'm abt 5 hours or so from N.O. bout 4 hours from jackson ms on 20 ..

Bagger, I was on the JFK from mid-'85 to DEC '86. Yes, Humpty-Dumpty was still around but in retirement. We pulled into Naples twice during that deployment. Toulon, France was a pit...mostly third world people.
Benedorm, Spain was the best port....50-cents for a Rum/coke with 95% Rum! I missed curfew and lost my ID; had to go sweet talk a LT from the squadron to get my ID back from the MAA's...Avoided a HUGE bullet on that one!
