Just thought it would be nice to see how many vets we have here on FEBO.


List your branch, years in, rate, and any overseas tours you had.



I was a Parachute Rigger in the Navy 99-03. Worked on MH-53E's with HM-14 in Norfolk VA. Also did 6 months in Bahrain.
 
USN 1968, uss hornet cvs-12, Apollo 11 and apollo 12 RECOVERY, uss Prairie destroyer tender, subic bay, phillipines, japan.....can't remember the other places :drunken_smilie: P.S. My buddy Hap Duncan was the UDT man on the cover of LIFE magazine getting the first orbitor out of the Gemini capsule.

:kermit:

UDT were the precursor to SEAL'S
