THE FIVE YEARS I SPENT ON THE HOLLAND WERE THE BEST YEARS

I SPENT IN THE NAVY. I SPENT A TOTAL OF 13 YEARS I HAD MADE

THE CHIEFS SELECTION BOARD BUT OPT TO GET OUT. I MADE A LOT OF GOOD LONG LOST FRIENDS. THE HOLLAND WAS MY FIRST

DUTY OUT OF BOOT CAMP. I CAME ACROSS A SHIP PHOTO WHEN IT WAS IN ROTA.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO AND I HOPE MY SHIPMATES ARE

DOING WELL

I was proud to be on the Holland, and in the Navy. However,my disasterous family situation forced me to leave what I thought would be a lifetime career. I have always regretted my decision, yet it was done. God bless you all, and full regrets.

Served onboard from February 1988 through August 1990. Completed a split tour:  assigned to Supply Department in Ship's Serviceman rating; and assigned as Ship's Legal Yeoman for CO's SJA in the Legal Department (as OJT prior attending Naval Justice School to rate change to Legalman). This particular duty station was one of the best of my twenty year U.S. Navy career. Good times and GO NAVY!

Comments:

 I was on Shore Patrol in Gourock, Scotland in '76. It was GREAT duty! 3 days on, 3 days off, 12 hours on, 12 hours off.

One day I have the day shift and I'm cleaning the waiting room at the Cardwell Bay Pier. I've got my shirt off and I'm swabbing the deck, when this Royal Navy ship (kind of like a fleet tug) approaches the end of the pier. There's nobody out there to help them tie up, so I run out to catch their lines and set up the brow, then I go back to what I was doing.

Soon afterward, most of the crew disembarks and starts walking down the pier, and I notice a Police Constable in among the crew. This is unusual, and catches my eye, until I notice that he is walking with a Royal Navy Officer. This Officer is taller than most of his crew, but more remarkable, he's got nose enough for two people. As he walks toward the waiting room, I realize that I'm staring, so I go in the back and start cleaning the head as he walks by.

Later on, the MOD Constable comes out to tell me that the Prince of Wales wanted to thank me for helping him tie up his ship.
