Navy taught me a lot, a trade, stand by your friends & how to do so many other things, some good & some bad. Had some very good friends & times. Age really lets you forget some things but I can still recall most of that time I spent on that ship.

Comments:
Served my last 4 years in the Navy onboard the Holland and met some wonderful, hardworking, dedicated shipmates. The Supply Officers I had the pleasure of working for were top notch and supported their troops. My years in S-6/S-7 Division under Lt Dennis Wilson were memorable and we still stay in touch today. We went thru a lot of tough (SMI) Supply Management Inspections together. Would love to hear from some of my old and young shipmates. I am currently retired and loving life with my wife Paula.

Would love to hear from anyone who served from 75 - 77 in Holy Loch. Was assigned to the Admin Department (Gravy Duty). Was probably the best time of my life and the best friends. Loved Dunoon, Inverness, Glasgow, Avimore, Edinburgh...

Hung out at the Glasgow Hotel drinking lager and throwing darts. Miss the whole crew.

Would like to find out if there were any radcon exposure issues during 75 - 77.

What an unforgettable time of my life... USS Holland at Holy Loch = plenty of GREAT times. Remember the North Sea storm we were in? How about when we pulled into port at Liverpool? I'm also on Facebook if anyone wants to keep in touch.

Omg! It is so good to read the 1000 plus comments! I have great memories of my times on the Holland. It wasn't a duty station...looking back it was family. Anyone remember us almost hitting the sub we were going to repair because she cut in front of us? So many great memories. And my second of many ships. Please get in touch. Would love to hear from you all. Take care and be safe.

Good Times

Made a lot of good friends and had a lot of fun on the island. I looking for one person that I became really good friends with his first name is William (Bill) but can't remember his last name he was a Hull technician third class also in 11A. I would like to touch base with him again if anyone remembers a Bill in 11A from 92-93 in Guam please contact me.
