Hi, it could be said that Keith has been in the Wars lately, what with a Temperature of 103 degrees and Pneumonia, getting out of Bed and passing out, falling and Breaking his Leg and 5 Hours until help gets to him. Here he is in War trim when he was in the US Navy. The photos of 1080 Ray put up, is our ship getting ready to refuel at sea.
I was a signalman (Morse code, flashing light) and I was always stationed
top side, up on the flying bridge above the pilot house. The guys in life
jackets are getting ready to receive the fuel line from the oil tanker. If
we were doing it with the carrier, we would be farther away, as the carrier
deck could cause problems if the ship rolled.
Thanks to Ray for finding my old home. I was on two med cruises and
one North Atl. cruise in the Arctic. I pulled a good bit of my off time in
the UK. Back then my beard looked like Ray's and I'd have to step inside
the pilot house to thaw the ice from my beard in the area above the Arctic
circle. I was in 40' seas on that old tin can.
