Comments:
My last duty station before i retired..That trip from SC to Guam in 1992 was full of beautiful memories..We pulled in Cartagena, Columbia and transitted the Panama canal out thru the Pacific Ocean, then liberty at Hawaii and finally reach our new duty station Guam, Along the way our deisels would break down numerous times. But the crew morale was high..If you guys remember me..I am that guy who gives that 3M test every tuesday afternoon at 1st class mess..Had a wonderful working relationship with my boss ETC Whelan. Looking for info about my friends MM1 Johnny Manangan,  Crazy"Tom and his wife Maria and the rest of my Filipino buddies..We had fun going to liberty ports like Hongkong and South Korea..I was a little sad when i left Guam..Even though we have brown outs and Typhoons..That place was always festive..My friend Johnny use to call ourselves "Guam playboys" for going to karaoke places and try to hit on ladies..Once in a while i think about those happy days..One of the best duty station in my 20 year Naval career...

Comments:

Fond memories, overall, though I could have been more positive of attitude at times.  Enjoyed a number of new friends and have no regrets that this ship was my home for about 2 years...actually, am proud to have had the opportunity to be part of the Navy's Polaris program, even
going on a routine shakedown cruise on the USS Lafayette, one of our
squadron's boats (Subron 16).
