Anybody seen or heard from bearded sailor?
I believe that bearded sailor was his SF name, he was an ex Navy SEAL, eventually went to work for Top Gun Supply at their Florida store.

Thought about him the other day when CPO Gallagher was on trial for alleged "war crimes".

I’ve looked on a couple occasions to see if he’d posted but he’s been inactive for quite some time. I miss reading his posts.

That's good to hear. I wonder why he left the forum?

I communicate with Doc regularly. He is located happily by the sea, got himself a new dog and is becoming quite The Connoisseur with his smoker.

Just a quick correction, but Doc wasn't a Navy SEAL, but a Navy Corpsman who was attached to the Teams.

I also was wondering about what he was up to and just assumed that he was busy with the Top Gun gig. Glad to hear he is doing well. After the demands of that type of service it wouldn't be surprising if a little "low and slow" living was called for.

Is Doc still with Top Gun?

No he's running around town in a jeep with a blind Golden Retriever named Dudley picking up girls from the beach with seashells he bought from the local tourist attraction

There is a book...or at least a song in there somewhere. Wink

I too miss that fella.

Glad to hear that he's doing well and soaking up his retirement.

Well, if you have to have a gig that would be a good one. Smile

I had the good fortune of meeting Steve during his brief tenure at Gander in West Palm.

Helluva nice guy. I am glad to hear he is living the good life and finding happiness.
