my security clearance kept me in there and out of every working party and most watchstanding.
Said they were usually alongside a carrier but I can’t remember which ones he mentioned.
Almost 16 years total at Eglin. Same avionics shop,same avionics building.Wanna talk about hot? How about basic training in Amarillo, TX from July to October. Not to mention half dollar sized hailstones! Then to Biloxi, MS for Tech school. Then, Eglin AFB in Ft Walton Beach Fla. If they kept me there I'd have stayed in. But no, Clark AFB, Phillipines. ...out after four.
my uncle told me the same thing, the intrepid, never sailed solo. always had other vessels. ya never know Dave, you might have known him.Maybe he was guarding the Intrepid. I would often look out at our carrier group that surrounded us and give thanks for all the firepower that protected us. We even had a sub defending us (and the group) out there somewhere.
