Department / Division / Shop : Weapons/Mk 45 Torpedo Shop

Comments:
I had previously served on the USS Proteus and spent 19 months on Guam.  My next ship was the USS Hunley in Charleston.  Much to my chagrin, I found out that the Hunley was going to relieve the Proteus.  I called the Torpedoman detailer in the Pentagon and told him one way or another I was not going back to Guam.  He either had to get me off of the Hunley or call the Shore Patrol.  He sent me to a C School in Orlando, with no promise as to where I would go after that.  I got orders to the Holland.  Best time of my life in the Navy.

I worked in the Mk 45 Torpedo Shop and became the Sea and Anchor Detail Helmsman.  I lived in Rota with my now wife.  We are still together.

Great times that I miss dearly.  My wife and I are going to Spain this spring.  I can hardly wait.

I didn't see anyone in the guest book that I knew, but maybe someone will see me.  I've reconnected with a lot of people, but it's always good to hear from people that I served with.

Comments:
Had some good guys in the shop,. Bill Hall ET2 (Deceased), Archie Iverson (Deceased), ,Warbuton ET1 (Status unknown to me, Melton ET1 (Same), Heimie (Can't recall his real name, LOL. Chief Kenneth Walters, who thought I hated him, but I did like him, he had his job to do, and several others, none that I have been able to find. R.O. Haden, a Texan ET2, who I could not STAND, making me break from actually rebuilding a piece of gear, to make him a pot of coffee, doing nothing but drinking coffee at the desk, shooting the breeze. Most were cool, some were A$$ES, and they know who they were :-)
