No Department / Division / Shop : S-1 / S-5 Comments: Greetings to all past shipmates of the World's Greatest Tender. Reporting to my first ship was quite an experience. Did my time on mess duty and reported to SKCS Wiands in S-1. Oh those crazy days and nights with the "Dunoon dollies and the HHC". After I got over the culture shock, I began to love Scotland and it's people. That feeling has lasted all these years. The fish and chips were the best. Warm beers and Bombay's curry. It was there I took up darts and I still play today. I met my second wife through darts and we have traveled back to the UK for international dart tournaments. Sadly, I haven't made it back to Scotland since I left but it is on my bucket list. There was something amazing in the friendships that were built there and then. perhaps it was that we were so young and away from home for the first time, or maybe it was that sign near the shuttle boats about how we are american ambassadors and our actions reflect on the ship, the sailors and our country. When we were on the beach we truly stuck together, after all, the Navy takes care of it own. Though I lost contact with those great men, I have managed to reconnect with several of my closest friends there. Mike Schneider, Mike Freddy, Mike Carey, Mike Samm, Tim Schmidt, and Ed Blenner. Long live the "Spades" Hall Of Fame, Fan Rooms, Haggis and the rain. Rest easy AS-32, rest easy.
