Well alright! I did two westpacs, and got off the ship in Subic Bay August 1, 1983. I was a 3x6, and did three years in the reserves. Naval Air Station Alameda closed in April of 1997. I went to visit the base a year ago, and all of the buildings are still intact, but paint peeling, and broken windows. But there is a USS Hornet Museum, a golf course and gym for the public.

I was on the Shasta (AE-33) from '87 to '91 - We had AE-33 stenciled on the side, so I'm not sure what ship that is, though it does look correct and we were out doing tons of UnReps during this time... Hmm...

I remember those Unrep Details... at 2 in the morning!

Great times!

1979-81

The Shasta. 2 years of joy. Anytime/Anywhere unless your XO doesn't want to get shellbacked. Oh well, Hong Kong was fun.....
