If so, they surely had a good season last year !I was indeed a Boatswains Mate and while I was actually selected for Chief Petty Officer before leaving the service at the 13 year mark, BM1 (SW/MCS) was my last paygrade for pay purposes hence the avatar. Had a really good time while I was in, started in San Diego at RTC/NTC in 1986, went to FLEASWTRACENPAC for my next command, then off to the East Coast on assignment to the USS Grapple ( ARS-53 ) for a hitch before transfer to the USS O'Bannon ( DD-987 ), then Military Correctional Officers School at Ft. McClellan, AL. before 3 and a half years on the SWAT Team at the Navy Prison in Charleston, SC. Following that I was the Bosun on the USS Caron ( DD-970 ), and finished up my career as the LPO, MAA, CCC, and Training Officer at Sima 908/NMCRC Tallahassee, FL. There were some not so fun times mixed in there, but I choose to remember the fun ones mostly LOL ! Pass along to your brother my thanks for him "standing the watch", it's MUCH appreciated !!!</blockquote>
