1984, deployed with my helicopter detachment aboard USS O'Brien (DD 975) in the southern Gulf during the Iran/Iraq Tanker War, years before the Gulf War. Got a little interesting a time or two.
No back in the day pics, but I put the old Squid Suit on for my son’s Cub Scout troop back in May.
I was a Sonar Tech on the USS Comte de Grasse DD-974 from 93-97
All the schools here in our district do a Veterans Day event. It’s nice to get the recognition, especially for the Vietnam era folks.
