like the previous poster I missed Vietnam when they "closed new troops" and promised to rotated the rest home and then spent most of my time in Germany (Mainz, 509th Airborne) as well.

Hi Guys, glad to be here with you.
I was USAF 1965-1968 66TFW 101 Voodoo 2nd seat in Recon Bird SEA 1966 USAFE 1967-68. Lots of guys wore ribbons they did'nt earn looks like Kerry did too. Now he wants to be commander in chief after dissing us when he got back to the land of the big PX. Well I'm working for the republican party and I hope we kick his ass.

It's nice to put some info with posters here. I usually read alot but don't post much because put my thoughts have been written down already, much better than I probably would have.

I was an Electronics Technician in the Navy. Didn't get to finish my enlistment before I was medically discharged. My husband is still in the Navy, going on nine years now. He is an E6, also an Electronics Tech.

I'm glad to be here and thank you for allowing me to be.

Hello All,
I am a U.S. Navy Vietnam "Era" Vet. 1967-1970. I was a BT2 aboard the USS Hartley(DE-1029), It was part of CINCLANTFLEET Cortron 8, which served with the Essex & (occasionally) Yorktown in the North Atlantic, North Sea, Artic Circle and, of course the Standard Med & Red Cruises of that era.We were homeported out of Newport, R.I.. I subsequently became a Chief Engineer of Motor Vessels, U.S. Merchant Marine in Oil Industry related Vessels, worldwide.(AHTS's).

Mr. Willard Wilson, Jr., the Shipyard Rigging Superintendent at Sewart Seacraft, Berwick,La. (the company that built all of the Swiftboats), is a close personal friend. He was my mentor as I grew up in the Marine Industry. There are a number of issues regarding Marine Engineering that do not add up when one considers John Kerrys claims. My participation at your site will attempt to find answers to those concerns.
