Are there any Squids out there?
Monday, August 19, 2002 by elvee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
But of coarse i'm an Airdale. From '85 to '89 I served with HS-4 The Blacknights out in NAS NorthIsland. Best years of my life. I miss it, miss the 'ole gang 
Been halfway around the world on the CVN Carl Vinson. Might have even crossed paths with jafo and not know it 
Anyone else know where i'm coming from? Anybody want to share their military days?

I figured that elvee, but just how long does your ship stay in those ports? That was what I was getting at.

At least you got to see a lot of places. I thought about the Navy but I can't swim, so I'am a little nervous if I cannot see land.

Both of those ships were in the "reserves." Funny thing though, we spent more time at sea than did the "actice duty cans." I was active duty for those 6 years. Wouldn't trade for anything.....learned how to handle in iron, that was for sure!
