Worked hard and played hard like many of us then. Lots of good friends and I hope your all doing well. I still laugh when I think of Kevin Lynch, what a card!After Navy days work as welder for General Dynamics building subs for the Navy, then became a letter carrier delivering mail. Retired from the PO and drive supplies for power company.

Checking back in. Signed the guestbook several years ago. NMCB 62 from May until 1979 as a UT3 and UT2. Deployed to Okinawa and Diego Garcia. Recognized a few names. Don't see too many UTs. Retired in 1999 from NMCB 24 in Huntsville, Alabama. Learned a lot while in 62. Met some interesting folks. Looked through my 62 cruisebooks a few months back. Was amazed I had not changed a bit from the 1970s. Seems there should be so many more Minutemen with entries in this guestbook.

I originally entered the Navy in Feb. 1969 at white, frigid Great Lakes, Illinois. After boot camp, I went to Propulsion Engineering School at GLAKES. I left in July to my first duty station, USS Hornet CVS 12 as a Boiler Technician. I witnessed the return of the Apollo 12 astronauts as they returned from the Moon. The Hornet was later decommissioned in Bremerton, Washington. I was reassigned to another carrier, USS Kitty Hawk and spent the next 2 1/2 years cruising the Tonkin Gulf of Vietnam.
After my enlistment ended in 1973, I joined the Navy Reserves and changed my rating from BT2 to EA2. I returned to active duty in 1982 with NMCB 62 in Gulfport, MS.I deployed with the batallion to Guam, Peurto Rico and Okinawa. I almost reenlisted but was turned away by another distraction. However, I did reenlist into the Saebee Reserves in Orlando, Forida. I was a member of NMCBHU 14 until it was decommissioned then became member of NMCB14. My official retirement date is Jan. 1, 1996. I joined NSVA Island X14FL. I was elected Commander for a couple years and I am now a lifetime member at-large. I am living in Ocala, FL right now but plan to soon return to my home state, Indiana and retire there. Hoping to join another NSVA Island there.
