USMCR 14 years total, starting in July 1965. Riffed following the glut of SNCOS after Nam. Got out as E6. Engineer maintenance, Motor Transport, maintenance, license NCO, maintenance chief, AMTRAC Recovery chief (LVTR7). I now build ships for the Navy, and yes, I have worked on the Enterprise, and every Nimitz class flattop, also the JFK and now CVN21.

Is the ex-W.O. Darby still kicking around NNSBDDC or did they finally sink it? What a POS that was to live on while a carrier was being rehabbed.

Just re-upped for the last time. Now if my base would only stay open long enough for me to retire I'll be golden. Been tough to be a reservist in this area but almost there. Doing a couple months active duty later this year - that will help the points total.
