From looking at your page, I would guess you are about 6` tall.

Didn’t the CG have a reg you had to be six foot so you could walk ashore in case of an underway problem??? <: <: <:

Was your swim call in the Marianas Trench?

Used to ‘love’ it at swim call they would pass the word for ‘sharpshooters man your station.’

We either went over the side or - on occasion - they would open the bow ramp.

When I looked at our ‘sharpshooters’ I figured I would rather take my chances with the sharks - at least they didn’t have weapons ....

We really musta been somthin special out there in Guam.

Deep ass water and all those Navy cans that needed towed back in. I still aint figured it all out?

Swimming Marianas was the only break we got on the 15 day sail from Guam to Hono.
