Victoria, Was in Naples a very long time ago. Then in Guam and then Houston, Tx. Thought I could make a difference - like everyone else who joins the Navy or any of the Militaries. I hope I did - Hostage Crisis in Iran - lockdown - intense. I am now a Certified Pharmacy Technician and have a friend, who is a Navy Vet from a Sub, but he is a Registered Pharmacist - we talk alot, but he is so much younger than I am, we don't really connect. I have tried. Even gave him a "US NAVY VETERAN" license plate holder.

Hey,Folks!!! We are a dead breed!! We are now known as "IT". What we did, back in the day, was no less important than what the folks of today are doing - we just did it in a different way. Was in lockdown during the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Naples, Italy, NAVCAMS MED, FTOC.....intense. Remeber it like it was yesterday. Did the same at FTOC in Guam until I transferred to Tech Conrol - so many memories of all my times in the Navy!!!! Email, if you get the chance. By the by, I am still looking for RM2 Robert Vasquez and Rm2 Jerry Ybarra. Kathy Kennedy, I sent you an email - holler at me!!! Cio, Folks, Meow
