+Mechanics Hands Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Us Navy 1993 to 1996 USS George Washington CVN 73 Norfolk VA homeport Aviation Ordanance and Aircraft structures ships company Was in the Med in nov 1994 when we had to go in and pay saddam a visit when he moved his tanks towards Kuwait again. Was anchored of Trieste itally to make a port call but Saddam had a different Idea. Beat feet across the med, went straight through the ditch (Suez Canal) Launched our aircraft, especailly the EA6B's and then did an end around the Sinai peninsula. Was a scary eyt exciting time. Ended up doing 68 days at sea straight and was releived by the Eisenhower as we were at the end of our Med cruise. Veteran of a foreign conflict (VFW member) and darn proud of it. And to echo what Zach posted. Thanks to all those who went before us and came after us. Enjoy your Freedom?? Thank a Vet. To many times we forget to do this and take our freedoms for granted. Sadly it takes 60th anniversaries of D Day or other days for so many to remember how big a price the freedom we enjoy today really cost. MH Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 Ms. DAVWIL 10 years teacher of "dependants" CFB Gagetown. ( HELL... She's more Army than I am!!!') Oops? Since I grew up an Army brat I remember those teachers!!! LOL. The one I remember most was Mr. Sertich, my 6th grade teacher in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. This was "back in the day" you understand. He picked up one kid one day and quite literally threw him toward the back of the room after becoming quite frustrated with the young man, in fact, he landed right by my desk. From then on we refered to "Sertich Airlines" with awe and respect....LOL. I made sure to never frustrate him, I didn't think I'd like flying that low to the ground...rofl. Mac Quote Link to comment
+Breaktrack Posted June 16, 2004 Author Share Posted June 16, 2004 Us Navy 1993 to 1996 USS George Washington CVN 73 MH Just as an aside, while I was attending a school at Fort Lee, Virginia, back in 1990, I convinced a group of my classmates to join me in a trip to Newport News to witness the christening of the George Washington. It was kind of odd as we went in uniform and got to watch Barbara Bush and President Bush (41) as they took part in the ceremonies. There we were, about 30 U. S. Army 2nd Lieutenants amidst a huge group of Navy uniforms...lol. It was a great day and I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the Washington ever since. I have yet to get a chance to go on board, but if I ever do I will in a New York minute!! Mac Quote Link to comment
