I joined in Navy in 1968. Bad time for all military. Active till 1977. Did another18 years in the Navy Reserve. Would not trade a day. Great memories, travels, but mostly best friends ever!

Wallyjar 1968 WAS a trying year for being in the military. I remember it well;
Khe Sanh, Tet offensive, Martin Luther King Assassination and Kennedy Assassination.
And that was just in the first 6 months! I also want to acknowledge the military operations that came afterwards up to the present hostilities in Afghanistan. We did what we were assigned to do and take pride in our efforts. We had some good and bad times and made a lot of friends along the way.

LOL Doc Mojo! That time was actually close to what you guessed.. We were in Kenya and one of the local gals would not leave me alone. I got this bad vibe about her and she was so persistent, I told a buddy that if he would get her off my back "nudge nudge wink wink" I would pay for it...He did and we were not even back in the Persian Gulf when he comes crawling out of the head after a midwatch in tears...Anyway I dodged a huge bullet on that one

Like they always say.. "there is no buddy like a buddy effer" "I cleaned that one up some....
