Hello All!
Thanks Norm for your dedicated work for this site. Many, many memories including Deigo Garcia and Guam. Retired as EOC(SCW)with 26.5 years in in 1999. I miss the connection that we as deployed members have. It seems that todays kids just don't have allegiance for a completed job. Marty Florez and Glen Cerat, please contact me, as well as the usual Gulfport crowd.

I was a fleet sailor who did a tour of duty with NMCB-62 87-89 I was one hell of a good tour of duty. I went to Rota, Guam, and Det Subic. I also decommissioned it. I really enjoyed my time in the Bees'.

Got to Gulfport on Aug. 17th and survived Hurricane Camile That came along the 19th. Got to the Battalion in Sept. I did two tours with "62" Apr. 70 thru Nov.70 Then on to Cuba to build the new EM club. Served under Bboth JPJones Jr and Frank Newcomb the latter was great, sorry to hear he died. Have wonderful memories of all my service time, having met lots of great people and would like to hear from them again. I retired in 2000 from General Motors after 36 years split between Saginaw, Mi. and Spring Hill, Tn. Saturn plant
