Look at all the interesting places you have been and the things you have seen! Just awesome!
threecollie, that was all just in my first two years in the Navy. :)
Very very cool! Thank you for our service!
It was my honor, Cathy.
Great photos!
I wonder if we crossed paths at The Parthenon that year.
I spent an evening on a rocky hilltop near it, taking pictures as the sun went down and they started lighting it up.
Jean cut-offs and a tank top and it got cold.
Turned the film in and got someones wedding pictures.
I imagine they were just as bummed as I was.
Some great throwback pics! :-)
Thanks, Bob.
Ed, it's entirely possible. My buddies & I spent a lot of time in that vicinity, that summer. It was during the oil embargo, and the ship didn't leave port for six months.
Thanks, NFO. There are lots more, but not as meaningful to others.
Rev. Paul,
Great pictures!!! It's always great to capture memories in pictures.
Thanks to you and all of them for your service!

Agreed, Sandy. Thanks.
Guffaw, it was an honor.
"Join the Navy and see the world!" 'Guess it really was true! :o)
Chickenmom, when your area of responsibility is all the world's oceans, the horizon isn't a limit. :)
