Well, I just noticed the date. It is the 64th anniversary of the date I entered the US Navy!
I know a bunch of you "old" guys entered before I did but I got in three months after my 17th birthday.
I was in Boot Camp at Great Lakes with another guy named Brown(no relation). I was RW Brown and he was WR Brown so you can imagine the screw-ups that took place during the 8 weeks of Boot Camp. And HE was only sixteen years old he said. I suppose he lied like some others to get in.
As I recall we were Company 1276 and I believe we were in the Green Bay area, but I'm not sure.
It would be nice to make contact with anyone who was in that Company at Great Lakes.
Since I have not attended any Armed Guard Reunions I have not made contact with ANYONE I served with in the US Navy at all!
Have all you guys experienced the same about not meeting or having ANY contact with former buddies or shipmates?
