...just say’en...

...I was in the Army’s Navy.

At Ft Eustis, trained as a coxswain on a variety of Army vessels. Then assigned to Mare Island California to the NIOTC school for PBR training. Then RVN. Now retired with 26 years of service.

Good luck with your project👍

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled Is there interest in my creating a table of NAVY Veterans to honor those who served in the US ARMY? TO ALL ARMY VETERANS, THANK YOU!, exPBRrat wrote:

I've begun the table for the ARMY. I am going to post a new thread with a correct title to see if I can encourage more ARMY veterans to participate. For now, here's the table. I expect it will grow over time, especially if I don't mangle the title of the thread!
