I've got a few, these are scans from 35mm negatives taken from 1984-1989
Me as a young LTJG with my Navigation crew after navigating the Willamette River for the Rose Festival, long windy river for a navy ship. Our SH-2 landing A picture I took from the above SH-2 of our ship near Alaska. I was hanging out the door strapped into a gunners belt. Crazy youth. Spent two weeks on the Carl Vinson (CVN-70) so got a couple shots of Flight Ops. If there is interest, I have others. |

I have some I'm willing to share...ID redacted of course. (The ribbon rack pic is what someone somewhere else asked me to take...I figured why not post?)

Unlike Don Rickles, most of us can post actual pics of our time in service instead of hiding behind our fake persona.

Seems one of the few things people remember where they were. I was sitting in a waiting room watching tv getting new tires installed.

I have not served Active Duty, but I am a spouse, who did her time (20 years).
Kept the home fires burning. |

I did not serve. I’ve somewhat regretted that. My sister, dad, grandfather, uncles, cousins and daughter served. Most of them navy. BIL still active duty Marine. My daughter was Air Force.
My daughter’s deployment in Afghanistan meant that our family has been deployed/served in every war that the US has been involved in. In fact, my dad is a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. Like many here, my dad spent time in Vietnam. He spent most of his time patrolling on the river boats. But that’s all I really know. He doesn’t talk about it much. One thing about him that I didn’t know until I was older is that he was serving on the USS Liberty when it was attacked by Israel. All he has ever said about that is that it was not an accident. |

A lot of people, maybe most people, don’t realize how challenging it is to those who keep those fires burning. Deployments, separation, kids, a job, daycare, frequent moves that are hard on everyone especially kids, the list goes on. Many marriages end in divorce or worse. Youre the backbone to the backbone of this nation and you should be proud. We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
