  • WOW.... That does bring back memories.... I was on the USS Richard E Byrd (DDG-23) from 77 to 80.....

  • Sam Prescott, FTM-2 on the USS Hoel in the early 60's. Loved the ship, my job and what a great adventure it all was. Sure wish they had preserved her.

  • That brings back memories. I was on the Ricketts, DDG-5, from 76-79.

  • @nomadharley I remember you Cox. I was a BTFN in forward fire.

  • @bvanwert100 I was in the forward boiler room for those years,Bt3cox

    Yeah, McNiff got busted not long before he got out, took his rate also. I'm on FB also.

  • @RetSquid

    Yep, you named the whole EW shop correctly! You must have come right after I left (which was in May 1987). By then, Slug had long gone. I heard one of the shop got busted for drugs. BTW, I was a work center supervisor in the ET shop (which we shared with the EWs). Swierski, Benton (?), Van something or other, Liechssenring (L-Ring), and Morita, were the final ones left when I left the gangplank. Nice to have met you. BTW, I'm in FB on the Badger site.

    EWC (ex-QM) O'Niell was there as well as Sammarco and Weinaug....and Chu and McNiff and MacDonald. I got there on Jul 16th, if I remember correctly. I don't remember Suglio...and there was another seaman I can't name.

  • @RetSquid

    Really? I got out in 87. If you know EW Chief O'Niell, Suglio, Sammarco, Weinaug, and those other guys, these are the people in the EW shop.

  • @catman351

    The "Bucky-B"? I was there '87-'91, left just before the decom. EW2(SW).
