It looks like Mr Majied was on the US Carrituck. Here is the information that he gave the Association when he joined them earlier this year:

Majied, Ahmad
2710 Cambridge Road, Albany, GA 31721-1574
229-431-1144
MACM
1963-66

Not knowing jack about such things, I invite ex-Navy types to help me interpret "MACM" and describe what role the Carrituck served in Vietnam. He apparently served 4 years assigned to the ship.

Note to AP: it took me 4.7 seconds to pull this from Google, and 10 minutes to read several links and write this post. I am available for hire as a fact checker, at substantially lower rates than experts such as Howlin and Buckhead.

Yea, but you’re slow. See #89. Guess you get what you pay for, a slow talk'n slow type'n Texan. {smile}

It says in the text from the link that the USS Currituck was a seaplane tender. Added to the ratings that another Freeper interpreted earlier, he was a Navy cop on that ship 1963-66.

An E-9 grade.

Here's a webpage that lists the command orders for the Vietnam carriers... Don't see mention of the USS Currituck there.
