| mark malone portland, Oregon |  I came to whidbey early 1979 to vaq-129 for more schooling,only about a month then went to vaq-134.did work ups on uss nimitz for a few months,then went to med sea.in middle of tour was sent to persian gulf,ended up in on hostage rescue attempt apr.1980.that was one of the hardest years of my life. I was drinking beer watching t.v.at whidbey, actually monday night football dec.1980 when they announced john lennon was shot and killed. I did well in the navy,but have never looked back until lately.now i'm 48 yrs.old when I left I was 22.damn scarey really. 02/07/2008 @ 04:25 [ref: 6748] |
| Charles E Anderson University Place, Washington | I entered the Navy in 1949 and was transferred to Whidbey into VP-931 in September of 1951. Our hangar could not occupy a Lockheed P2V-2 aircraft unless it was put on dollies and pulled into the hangar sideways. We deployed to Kodiak when we returned to Whidbey, our personnel were flown back in two Navy R6V Constitutions. We also stood alert for the seaplane base when the weather was to nasty for PBM flying boats to get airborne. Mostly good memories of shipmates and the Navy. 01/25/2008 @ 20:44 [ref: 6704] |
