Devil Dogs in Kilts?

I'll do that. He's still in the reserves and a LCol now. If you had met him, you'd remember him. I was on the Mighty Mo (USS Missouri) during Desert Storm. There was a shortage of gunnery officers for the firing missions, so the XO asked ( that was surreal) if I (Assistant Suppo) minded qualifying and standing watch. I actually took a fire mission from my brother-in-law during one late watch. I am the only 16" gun qualified supply officer in the Navy.

Well, you must have come through here, I'm a civilian employee at NSCS in Athens, (at least for a few more years.)

I never served in the military, my father did, but more interestingly, my father-in-law served in the Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. He was on board the Indianapolis on 12/7/41 and at Pearl Harbor when the Indy went down. He said he never joined the Marines because he didn't think they would last........he always said that with a wry smile. Proud to know so many of you who have served our country. Thank you.

I sure did 6th Bat, Company N (How the heck did I remember that?) in 1983/84. Not sure I'd like the idea of going to Newport in Winter now that they're moving the school up there.
