Close to 20 years before you. 77-79 I think. Then I became a yardbird at Mare Island working on submarines and became glad I was never on one.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

| Thanks for the heads up. I would love to get a USS Midway and a USS Eisenhower. I did time on both of them in VAW squadrons in the 80’s. |

Yeah I’ve seen some recent drone pics and it actually saddens me to see how rusted it is now. I really wish I had gone to the decommissioning a few years ago to just take one last walk around to see everything one last time. Never thought I would actually get sentimental about that ship. |
