I was fresh out of boot camp. Of course I was assigned to the scullery, but I got to talking to the guy who was in charge of us and told him I had just got my barbers license. He took me straight to the crews barbershop and I spent the rest of my mess cooking time cutting messcooks hair. After messcooking time I of course stayed in the barbershop. I finally got moved up to the officer's shop. I have a lot of good memories of that time. Of course working in the shop I met almost everyone on the ship at one time or another. I was there right at 2yrs and got orders to NMCB-62 which was based in Gulfport Ms. I went on a deployment with them to Diego Garcia in 1972 and got out in 1973.

Was there for the "ASL" tours by XO Lindsey and was a part of Holland becoming the WGT. Except for losing Dan Walton after the first steam generator inspection - it was all GOOD. Went back to Holland as the MPA in Jan 91 and took her to Guam - left two days after getting there (couldn't stand the thought of working for Shannon any longer than absolutely necessary - served with him at another command and called my detailer the day I learned he was coming to Holland as the engineer). She was a good old ship!!!!!
