This is NOT an official Navy web site. The opinions expressed are my own, and may not be in-line with Big Navy.

I'm posting this right now as a helo lands on top of my head conducting a vertical replenishment, somewhere in the Northern Arabian Sea. As a dude who you helped sucker into the ET rating 20 years ago out of Panama City, Florida...I have to say thanks. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have enjoyed my 6 years as an Electronics Technician Chief Petty Officer (15.5 enlisted) and the opportunity to serve as a Commissioned Officer in our great Navy. I'm short on sea duty. Pushing 10 years consecutive. On my way to an OIC tour at NAS Jacksonville. Keep up the great work. Tom,

The Army Reserve may currently have a moratorium on waiving any past indiscretions, but normally your single issue would be able to receive waiver consideration. Mark,

I am seeking a Direct Commission in the Army Reserve. I hold a Masters in education and am a high school teacher. I have been told by my recruiter that due to a DWAI (traffic infraction in NY State) fifteen years ago I am ineligible/unwaiverable. According to my research, a single "misconduct" does not even warrant a waiver. What is your opinion? My best friend is a Navy intelligence Commander and has told me that the Army is not correct.

I wonder what the percentage of Sailors from Operation Sea Orbit had children join the Navy - I bet its higher than average :) Dave,

I'm like your dad, I was on the USS Long Beach in '64 for that historic cruise. What a trip. I still have maps, cruise books and pics from those days. I also have stories. I left Long Beach in '65 to return to school but remained a reservist. I returned to active duty in 1973 and stayed until 1991. When you enlisted I was the PAO for NDR San Antonio. I have one son who did six and my youngest is going to RTC in a month or so. It's a family thing, ya know. Fair Winds. Dave Journalist Ahoy, Master Chief,

Stumbled upon your website while checking out some Kef stuff. I was also stationed @ NSGT F-15, a plank owner. At the time I was an ET3 coming out of Diego, I was the initial Supply PO and outfitter of the site. ETC Shuetz was my chief, & Mr Heinz Stroebel was the civ engineer. It was a great tour, before returning to Diego for a 2nd tour. Will read more of you site later......till then....Mahalo and Aloha... Aloha Master Chief!

It's funny how people wander onto each other's blogs. Isn't serendipity a wonderful thing? While a lifelong civilian, I've got a few close kin with military history. My brother was on the Oriskany in the mid to late sixties, I have two boys in the USA (I'm sure you don't mind), and my wife's father was a junior officer aviator in WWII. By the way, we were married 35 days after we first set eyes on each other - is that five weeks? Hello, Chief.
